Sonata in E major for flute or recorder and basso continuo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sonata in E major for flute or recorder and basso continuo by J. S. Bach (BWV 1035) is a sonata in 4 movements:
- Adagio ma non tanto
- Allegro
- Siciliano
- Allegro assai
The basso continuo can be provided by a variety of instruments. For example in complete Bach recordings, Stephen Preston on Brilliant Classics (originally recorded by CRD UK) is accompanied by harpsichord and viola da gamba while on Hänssler Classic Jean-Claude Gérard is accompanied by piano and bassoon. This sonata is different because of its frequent use of accidentals, which is unusual for a Bach Sonata. There is also a frequent use of terrace dynamics, which is another trademark of Bach. Also, the 2nd and 4th movement follow a binary form with an A and B section that each repeat. In addition, although in E major, the Siciliano movement is in C# minor. In most music notations of this piece, there are few articulation markings because they would be added on when performed. So, this is open to interpretation. Also, trills in the Baroque era start on the upper neighboring tone.
