The second movement is originally the second movement from BWV 527 Trio sonata no 3 for organ. Of course, here you notice how Bach evolved during the years if you compare the two. Of course I like this version better because it has so much more. But the organ version is also beautiful as it is.

[@antoinegaillard9440]

Aaah this one is very nice. I am discovering Bach through this channel and I must say it's very interesting and entertaining to see the notes as the music goes :) Thank's Gerubach for your hard work!

Been getting into classical music recently and these Bach concertos really seem to be sitting well with me. It's like the melodies are more memorable compared to what I knew classical music to be; that being big, grand orchestral pieces that were hard (for me at least) to digest fully.

[@imacat8476]

For me like you, I prefer the smaller orchestras of the renaissance and baroque periods. There is more general focus on musicality with the instruments role having more importance as opposed to the big orchestras with a lot of people doing the same thing. Great that you've gotten into classical music.

[@nomoski1]

Well bachs baroque as opposed to classical. Baroque does tend to have very memorable melodies

[@Belenus3080]

The logistics of concertos are less daunting than symphonies. And as somebody pointed out above, they tend to feature individual instrumentalists to a greater degree, so they are as much of a technical exercise as they are a work of art. I enjoyed playing them in school, because we broke into smaller groups, and it felt like I was part of a conversation with my band mates, as opposed to being a small part of a giant entity.

One of the best concertos written by J.S.Bach.Great contrapuntal work,and the arrangement of Brandenburg Concerto no.5 is very similar to this.But i admit that this concerto is greater than BC no.5.It is a concerto for experts of chamber music-we can play this music hardly if we are out of skill and patience and feeling.The widest range of harpsichord (at least the highest note) of Baroque period is used in this piece.And the hardest string notes I have ever seen in Bach's compose,4 notes at once!This is amazing that surprising Bach used Harpsichord cadenza in 3th movement,making it more important.By the way i also thank Gerubach for making this video.It really widen my sight !

[@andreainzaghi7373]

the contrapuntal is very minimal , it is a very strange concert. Some critics think it was doctorated by some Bach's disciples. To me it is a mistery.

[@Philobach]

ça ressemble en effet au 5eme concerto brandebourgeois que j' adore, par la place prépondérante du clavecin. Disons que dans le 5eme concerto, notamment au 1er mouvement, le clavecin se fond encore plus dans le décor, on l entend moins en solo, sauf bien sûr à la partie seule de fin. ce concerto est en effet incroyable, tellemment créattif , intériorisé, et génialement bien écrit. Dans ce concerto je préfère pour sa beauté le 1er mouvement au 3eme, à choisir. Le 3eme mouvement , il a fait fort aussi , j ' y entends un climat lugubre , presque de la musique contemporaine, mais en plus beau et créatif... et le deuxième mouvement de toute beauté. Je suis le 1er admirateur de Bach , avant tout pour la beauté de sa musique et sa créativité. Dans le piano j' aime particulièrement ses toccatas bwv 910/916 jouées par Glenn Gould.

[@Philobach]

@@andreainzaghi7373 c' est un concerto génial , très inspiré, digne de son génie. je ne vois rien de minimal dans ce concerto....

[@andreainzaghi7373]

@@Philobach it seems to me a concert ahead of his time; that is why it is "geniale". It seems to me "minimal" because I do not see a lot of " fugato" and a wide responding network of "contrappunto". It changes tone almost like a romanticismo piece, some times. That said, you probably know more than me. Thank you for your comment, I will give it a thought.

[@Philobach]

@@andreainzaghi7373 ca se complexifie en avançant dans le mouvement et davantage encore au 3eme. mais pas besoin que ça soit fugué pour que l' écriture soit riche. ce concerto est génial déjà parce qu il es très beau, et très créatif mélodiquement justement pas comme des pauvres concertos romantiques...., et riche par la subtilité en écriture notamment du clavier qui densifie tout. et ce n est pas le style fugato en soi qui fait la richesse de l' écriture. obervez déjà la partie clavier qui fait un travail énorme , encore plus dans le 3eme mouvement comme j' ai déjà dit, bien que le 1er mouvement soit plus beau . observez surtout la créativité , l' inspiration mélodique qui sont la bases de toute belles musique.

[@boweizhao4593]

There's something very ethereal and gentle about the Adagio section that makes me listen to it over and over again. On the other hand, the harpsichord part in the allegro and allabreve sections is hardcore!! I was humming it in the shower and I felt like shredding keys - that's how hardcore it is.

Not all that uncommon in Bach scores. The Bärenreiter edition of the Cello suites, for example has note with a flat sign followed by a question mark, because they weren't sure if the note is supposed to be flat or natural

[@OutbackBoy]

Yeah I think it's because the flute and violin have been doubling each other at the unison for a while and suddenly the violin has a minum D while the flute has two crochets, D to G. Maybe an oversight by Bach when he wrote it down or made a revision

If one had to choose only one piece of Bach chamber music, s/he couldn't go wrong by selecting this example. Beautifully performed, with tempi that are not rushed - which is unusual today. (I believe that Baroque music, in its contrapuntal complexity, *must never be hurried through* -- its multi-linear forward energy / propulsion becomes a confused blur otherwise; and we miss the delightful interplay between the various imitative voices. Bach's music is "conversational" if it is anything - a friendly "dialogue" between intelligent equals.) It's interesting that in the first two movements, the solo flute and violin are given equal prominence along with the harpsichord; while in the third, the harpsichord soloistically shines - to the extent that all the other instruments are but mere accompaniment! Bach must have had top-notch musicians at his disposal to play such demanding music -- but I'm guessing that he probably played the harpsichord part himself! Thank you for giving us this fine performance, with the score. Much appreciated!

[@gervaisfrykman266]

I agree wholly about the tempi.

[@davidriggenbach6672]

Bach's autograph has never been found, but the oldest surviving score comes from a copy Bach's son in law made the same year of Bach's death. It was found in the Royal Library of Frederick the Great. As for when Bach composed it no one will know. The materials used in this concerto may have originated in the early 1700's as solo harpsichord works but some suspect this version dates from the 1740s. I call this concerto, the evil sister of Brandenburng #5

[@alexanderp3689]

The concerto is very good. It is interesting how the allegro does not sound allegro at all. It sounds more of an andante or moderato.

[@gabrielortiz8959]

Wow oh my lord, it's the real Handel. Will you sign my autograph?

[@ruperttmls7985]

Yo tengo dos autografos de el, te lo cambio por uno de Telemann :-V

[@rafeverao4105]

It isn't quite the presto-speed allegro of modern pieces, but it is certainly an allegro nonetheless - keep in mind allegro covers everything from 100-180 crotchet-beats-per-minute, so it can be quite confusing to see a movement which is more moderato or andante (as you said yourself) labelled as "allegro".

[@dzc46278]

Not interesting really considering how many other stately allegros begin with this style of tempo. Notice all of the thirty-second notes and sixteenth triplets. These indicate giving the eight note something of a pulse, and with that frame of mind you can hear how it is indeed an allegro.

This concerto is based off of his BWV 894 Prelude and Fugue. Imo, it's better on just the harpsichord as the flute can become very ear piercing, and the overall tamber of the instruments used isn't crunchy enough to express the counterpoint well enough (except for the cello)

[@oniuqasaile]

Did anyone else not notice that the second movement is the same as the second movement from his first Organ Trio Sonata? I wonder which was written in first?!

[@raulespejo2587]

Why do you say is the same? Not even the theme

[@entermayor1312]

There are many borrowes themes in this concerto. For example the first theme in the first movement is taken from the prelude in BWV 543.

[@freddyharvey2405]

You are almost correct, it is actually the 2nd movement from his 3rd Trio Sonata for organ. Many of these movements were arrangements of previous concertos and other works.
