Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Friday Baroque Interlude – Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod) – A Personal Note
Hey Folks. This is a sad day for me. It is a day of mourning, a day of grief, a day of loss. Intransigentia as she is known here, my partner in life, crime, and marriage for the last 15 years and I are parting ways today. The house is

Around 250 organ works by Bach have been handed down, the most intriguing of which are works thought to have originated early on, but of which there is no surviving autograph. The speculations of Bach researchers all boil down to a single question: how early on can we determine signs

Bach’s Cantata BWV 35, Geist und Seele wird verwirret (Soul and spirit become confused), is one of three alto solo works in Trinity Time of the third annual church cycle of 1726-27 that has an old established and much used text of Georg Christian Lehms. It employs obbligato organ

The four orchestral suites (called ouvertures by their author), BWV 1066–1069 are four suites by Johann Sebastian Bach. The name ouverture refers only in part to the opening movement in the style of the French overture, in which a majestic opening section in relatively slow dotted-note rhythm in duple meter

Bach works his calculated magic once again. So when we learn that the Concerto for keyboard No. 3 in D minor, BWV 974, is based on an oboe concerto composed by Alessandro Marcello, it seems most curious — Marcello was not the skilled, stylish, and innovative composer Vivaldi was, nor was he the nephew […]

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Friday Musical Interlude – Alessandro Marcello – J.S. Bach – Piano: Anne Queffélec – Auszug BWV 974
I hear beautiful music on the CKUA morning show, and then I have to share it, and furtively download the sheet music so I can reconfirm that is way above my grade level. 🙂 “It is common practice in the drafting of the oboe concerto by Alessandro Marcello, resorting in the second set […]

Bach, Chaconne from Partita for Violin No. 2, BWV 1004, arranged by Brahms for left hand piano: The Chaconne is the fifth movement of Bach’s Partita in D Minor for Unaccompanied Violin, written between 1717-1723 (ages 32-38), while Bach was in the service of Prince Leopold in Cöthen. Joshua Bell has said that the Chaconne […]
Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Friday Baroque Interlude – Bach – March in D major, BWV Anh. 122
Another deceptively simple looking pieces from the Master. I’ve tackled this one and well, it still has the best of me. That chromatic transition at the end of the A section is just death, let me assure you. 🙂 Filed under: Music Tagged: Bach, Piano, The DWR Friday Baroque Interlude

I can play the first part. 🙂 If I can find the second part, I’ll work on that too. 🙂 The Minuet in G major is a keyboard piece included in the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. Until 1970 it was attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV Anh 114),

The original orchestral suite was generally believed to have been written by Bach for his patron Prince Leopold of Anhalt some time between the years 1717 and 1723. However, the oldest surviving score is later, dating from Bach’s time in Leipzig. Current thinking is that the suite may well have
