Johann Sebastian Bach : Two- and Three-Part Inventions

Cantata for the 1st Sunday after Trinity (composed for June 11 1724)-O Ewigkeit du Donnerwort BWV 20Cantata for the 1st Sunday after Trinity composed for June 11 1724Johann Sebastian Bach opened the second year of his Leipzig church compositions on 11 June 1724 with a performance of the cantata ?O Ewigkeit du Donnerwort?.The work is based on a church hymn by Johann Rist that depicts in riveting language the terrors of the Last Judgment and the torments of Hell followed by an admonition to live a life pleasing to God. The poem inspired Bach to write one of his most impressive church compositions altogether.This remarkably extensive score with twelve sheets sheds particularly instructiveand detailed light on Bach's creative process. The Bach Archive Leipzig acquired this priceless manuscript at the end of 2016 making it possible for the first time to reunite the original performance material and the handwritten score of a Bach chorale cantata.Our facsimile edition complements the edition of BWV 20 presented by James Webster almost 50 years ago in volume I/15 of the ?New Bach Edition?.- Autograph score combined with the original parts- Two facsimile fascicles in four-colour reproduction (24 + 64 pp.) each in a facsimile dustcover and one volume of commentary (German/English 16 pp.) all combined in a slipcase- Series Documenta musicologica II/52- Limited edition of 250 copies- With a Commentary by Peter Wollny (Ger/Engl)

If Bach Was A Cellist-The purpose of the series if Bach was a cellist is to live the fantasy that everything Bach wrote he wrote for the cello.The concerto in D minor (BWV 1043) for two violins string orchestra and continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is one of his most loved works. Indeed the slow movement may be one of the most popular and loved pieces in the instrumental literature. Traditionally it is believed to have been written in Köthen where he held the position of 'fürstlischer Kapellmeister' from 1717-1723 a town that saw the birth of the Brandenburg concertos and the solo works for violin and cello. The Dorian church mode (the absent Bflat in the key of Dminor) would also speak for the younger Bach. Recent research however has shown that the orchestral parts carefully written out by Bach himself and found among the papers of his son Carl Philip Emanuel date from around 1730. The sophistication of the composition also speaks for a later date than Köthen. The original score has been lost.Always in need of concert material for his 'Collegium Musicus' in Leipzig Bach made a version of the present concerto for two harpsichords (BWV 1062). The original key was transposed to C minor so that the top note would not exceed a D but remain within the range of a standard harpsichord. Another C minor concerto (BWV 1060) for two harpsi-chords often heard in an arrangement from the 1920's for violin and oboe by Max Schneider and Max Seiffert speaks for two concertos in D minor for two violins by Bach.When arranging an orchestral score for the pianoforte one has to remember that a double-bass sounds an octave lower than notated. This is a welcomed fact when dealing with two instruments that play the original solo parts an octave down. At the same time for a transcription of this kind the ambition must be to avoid the cello soloists playing in octaves with the violin tutti parts - which is what would happen were they to share the same material. This ambition made a piano reduction

In the vocal oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach the arias scored for obbligato flute for two flutes or for oboe constitute a dazzlingly varied repertoire. Treated on an equal footing with the vocal part the obbligato parts assume solo duties in many pieces. The most demanding solo passages composed for these instruments in the 18th century are occasionally hidden in Bachs arias.The MUSICA RARA edition of Bachs collected arias presents an authentic musical text which follows the principal sources in phrasing and articulation.

Easiest Piano Pieces by J.S. Bach-Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are for the most part arranged in increasing difficulty.

Johann Sebastian Bach-Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era of Western classical music. His music full of rich harmonic language and melodic genius has endured the course of time and has been transcribed and arranged for all types of instruments and instrumental combinations. His music translates well on the Marimba and is frequently used for recital and audition repertoire. The music in this collection includes many of Bach's best-known works transcribed for the Marimba and carefully selected for the developing mallet player. This collection can also serve as a useful resource for the advanced player looking forsight-reading material or repertoire to perform at special events ceremonies or receptions. Each work is presented in versions for both two and four-mallet techniques for Marimba players with different ability levels. The works can be performed individually or together in a group. Includes: 'Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring' 'O Sacred Head Now Wounded' 'Sheep May Safely Graze' 'Gavotte' 'Badinerie and Minuet from Orchestral Suite No. 2' 'Bourreé' and more.

In 1725 Johann Sebastian Bach wrote two keyboard suites for his wife Anna Magdalena. These became the first entries in a book in which over the next twenty years were gathered together both keyboard pieces and vocal works by J.S.Bach and his two sons. This authoritative new edition also contains invaluable advice on appropriate tempo phrasing articulation and ornamentation in accordance with contemporary performance practice.

revised edition hard cover-Johann Sebastian Bach’s Inventions and Sinfonias are rightly considered as indispensable to every pianist. In his famous preface to the collection Bach himself called it an“Instruction” which teaches students and keyboard lovers to “treat correctly” both two and three voices to “achieve a singing style in playing” and to “acquire a strong foretaste ofcomposition”. To this end Bach created timelessly beautiful music which has lost nothing of its relevance to us nearly 300 years after its creation. We are now presenting a new edition of this classic collection whichdraws upon all known sources and offers the best in “instruction” especially with respect to the transmitted embellishment variants.
