Bach: Sonata in G Minor, BWV 1029 (arr. for 2 violins & continuo)

Listen

Description

Bach's Sonata for viola da gamba in G Minor is one of his most dramatic and moving chamber works. Although scholars have long considered it to be an arrangement, it is presented here for the first time as a trio sonata in its original key. As such it makes another welcome addition to the trio sonata repertoire. An informative preface is included giving the origins and background to the work.

*The VIolin 1 part can be played by flute or oboe. Parts are included for VIolin 1 (or oboe or flute), VIolin 2, cello continuo (with figured bass) and keyboard (realized by Warwick Cole).
