J. S. Bach\u2019s six organ trio sonatas (BWV 529-530) were composed for his eldest son, the gifted but problematic Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. They are masterpieces of harmonically enriched counterpoint, and often give the il- lusion that more than three parts are present, because of the harmonic and motivic density of the writing. The style is a fascinating mixture of Bach\u2019s well-established counterpoint with more rococo and charming elements.<\/p>\n

The slow movement of no. 3 was used again as the middle movement in the concerto for harpsichord, flute and violin BWV 1044. The first move- ment of no. 4 was developed from a sinfonia to the cantata \u201cDie Himmel erz\u00e4hlen die Ehre Gottes<\/em>\u201d (BWV 76\/8). The last movement of the same sonata was originally part of the long organ Prelude and Fugue in G, BWV 541.<\/p>\n

Users should never forget that these transcriptions are arrangements, not original pieces, and therefore should be altered according to taste and acoustic necessity. Bon appetit!<\/p>\n
