Saraband and Double (Johann Sebastian Bach)

"Saraband and Double" by J.S. Bach
From Partita No. 1 in B minor for solo violin
Transcribed by Frederick Noad
I've played the Double faster before, but I've recently discovered how slowly Menuhin played it in his 1935 recording. Here, I'm actually playing it faster than he did at that time, so why try to rip through it and play it uncleanly?
Taylor NS54-CE, hybrid classical

I'll tell you a secret. If I were you, I would have played that double even a bit slower. Giving time to the pauses. Letting the music come out. It sort of sound like someone is persuing the notes with a knife or something.

But the intimate climate you achieved with the sarabanda is wonderful! Beautifully baroque.

Thanks

THANK YOU for your good tone, LH articulation, and NOT playing the Sarabande romantically as so many do.
