Bach - Brandenburg Concertos No.6 - iii: Allegro

I think the rest of the orchestra has equal importance as the two solo violas. Cello acts as another voice for the trio made with the two solo viola and at the it has the equally difficult passage. Though playing simple accompaniment throughout, Bach must have reasons to call for two violas da gamba here. I hope Bach had had written a gamba concerto so that Hille Perl can show off with it!

Just 4 groups of triplets each bar, don't be scared my friend....

is this played in 12/8?? doesnt look that hard to play. i have to play it for my district orchestra alone....

12/8 is correct. its actually tricky on the sixteenth notes for the first violins when you have to go from the main note to the E.

its also tricky for the violas too.

The violone is a precursor to the double bass, and has many of the same characteristics.

Extraordinària interpretació de aquesta obra mestra del Barroc.

FERRAN (malalt de Bach)

Bach's Brandenburg's never cease to amaze me. Bach certainly went far beyond the standard "concerto", of his time. Pure genius to be able to vary the style and instrumentation, the way he did... and, to throw in the unexpected so creatively. I'm not sure I could choose a favorite, of his Brandenburg Concertos... they are all so incredible in their own way.

this is beautiful. i actually danced this in a performance once

Truthfully, it is hard NOT to dance to the beat and rhythm of this movement.... such genius as Bach had.
