Coming back to positive issues, I am very happy that I will play the BWV 1039 Adagio in a Trio next Monday March 23. We went though our first rehearsal with the cello yesterday and it was OK.
It may seem simple for more experienced players, but for me is a big achievement and I have worked many, many hours on it. It is also the first time I will play a Bach trio.
I want to share some of the files I made, in case someone else is interested in this more-than-wonderful piece. The 1039 in G major is one of the official Bach sonatas, but it is not one of the most popular and in several "Bach Sonatas" recordings it is not included.
The three files (PDF, MIDI and mp3)can already be found at my profile page.
It is the first movement of a Trio Sonata, comprising four movements in total (Adagio - Allegro - Adagio e piano - presto) Is written for two flutes and basso continuo (a cello in my version). Only the first Adagio is available here for the moment.
The mp3 is of acceptable sound quality and the MIDI sounds awful but I provide it anyway in case smb. wants to modify it (changing tempo, for example). In case somebody is seriously interested in studying it, I could provide her/him the separated parts in mp3 audio for the study, at the tempo requested.
The PDF score has the articulations written as I play it, which can be helpful over an Urtext score and in some passages they make the playing a little easier. If you are experienced, you may want to change them.
The Tempo I chose is 1/4 = 43 bpm. Masters like E. Pahud play it a little faster, about 1/4=50. But the music is rather complex and at a lower tempo one can enjoy the harmonies and contrapunctus more easily and intensely.
Enjoy you too...
