| BACH, Johann Sebastian Sechs Sonaten für Orgel (BWV 525-530). Faksimile nach dem Autograph der Deutschen Staatsbibliothek Berlin mit einem Vorwort von Wolfgang Goldhan. [Mus. ms. autogr. J.S. Bach P 271] Facsimile of Bach's original holograph of the Six Sonatas for |
Organ, BWV 525-530, notated in the form
of the classical trio sonata
 detail
from the beginning of Sonata IV | This
splendid
autograph is considered one of the most instructive of all of Bach MSS,
not only by the harmony of the music and its graphic depiction, but
also by the way
it highlights the manner in which the master copied. According to
Forkel
they were composed (c.1730) for Bach’s eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann.
They were notated in the form of the classical trio sonata genre, i.e.,
they are scored for melody instruments and bass. Forkel describes them
aptly: "One simply cannot praise their beauty enough". Every sonata and
every movement has a unique unmistakable character, closely related to
the properties of its key, of its meter and the emotional content of
the motifs and figures (Goldhan). Introduction in German
& English. 2-color
collotype of the autograph score. Handsome
binding in grey linen with title
embossed in gold. $84 |
