J.S. Bach~ Orchestral Suite No.4 in D major, BWV 1069: Rejouissance (5)

The fourth of Bach's orchestral suites, also in the key of D major, is scored for three trumpets and timpani, three oboes, bassoon, strings and continuo. After the compound rhythm of the fugal section of the Ouverture and a return to the slower music of the opening comes a pair of Bourrées, played in alternation, a Gavotte, and a pair of Menuets, with the second played by strings and continuo alone. The Suite ends with a cheerful movement bearing the title Réjouissance, which proclaims both its character and the French provenance of the whole form, adopted and translated by Bach into suitable German musical terms.

It's so interesting how Bach plays with the anticipation of the listener! (At least mine!) During the third bar of this movement, I expect the fourth bar to close the first phrase of the movement, as usual in this kind of movement. But the fourth bar is playfully extended, not with one, not with two, but with eight wonderful bars, each of which is a pleasant surprise, and especially pleasant in retrospect, recalled together with the rest of the phrase as a whole. Bach was THE genius of Music.
