Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 - 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Cello Suites and Brandenburg Concertos; keyboard works such as the Goldberg Variations, The Well-Tempered Clavier and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor; and vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival, he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music.
Violin Sonata No. 2 in A minor, BWV 1003 (1720)
1. Grave (0:00)
2. Fuga (3:48)
3 Andante (11:37)
4. Allegro (15:07)
Arthur Grumiaux, violin
Description by John Palmer [-]
According to the manuscripts of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-06, the six pieces were completed in 1720, while the composer was employed at the Cöthen court. At Cöthen, Bach devoted himself primarily to the composition of instrumental music; this period saw the composition of the Brandenburg Concertos, the violin and keyboard concertos, the orchestral suites and the first part of the Well-Tempered Clavier, among other works. Often Bach composed works of each genre in cycles, with six works in each.
In the case of the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, Bach alternated three sonatas with three partitas. The partitas consist of between five and eight dance movements, while the sonatas are in four movements, none of which is a dance except the third movement of the first sonata, in G minor, which is a Siciliana. Throughout these six works there is evidence of not only Bach's knowledge of the technical capabilities of the violin, but also of his ability to create dense counterpoint and effective harmony with one stringed instrument. The solo violin sonatas were first published between 1817 and 1828.
A rhapsodic Grave opens the second Sonata in A minor, BWV 1003. At such a slow tempo, the highly ornamented melody seems to meander at will, navigating a course of highly contrasting rhythms and decorative flourishes that release the melodic potential of the minor mode. The overall "free" nature of the Grave makes it sound like a prelude to the ensuing movement. As in all three of the violin sonatas, the second movement, the central point of the piece, is a fugue. Daunting in both size and complexity, the Fugue pushes forward relentlessly, creating a dense contrapuntal web. Bach sets the third movement apart from the others through both an Andante tempo and contrasting key. The writing is more homophonic here, with a calm melody that provides a needed foil to the harsh energy of the preceding Fugue. A lively, lighthearted Allegro, rich with rhythmic and melodic variations, returns to A minor and closes the piece.

Thanks mah dude
I like Fuga ♥
Thank you!
Renato Araújo thank you
Thank you, I searched for such a comment 😂
Grumiaux and other well-known violinists were geniuses, I thought when I was young. I will never reach their level. Here I am at age 83, have been playing and practicing all these years, came to realize they were no big deal. I once loved their expensive violin's sweet sounds. That also disappeared. My $200 dollar violin (1973) sounds good now, just the way I like it. All you young people, keep playing and enjoy and fulfill.
Try something new

Goon' on my seventh decade here, and had to laugh.
Uvoted you for your chutzpah. You' re right, of course, but you aren't supposed to say such things...
no. Grumiaux was definitely a big deal.
@@alna9681 dude, nowadays any average professional violinist can play all of these, what makes the virtuoso is the skill to play exactly like he wants. Also, slower pieces like Vocalise are way harder than any Paganini caprice, because the amount of skill to play those long bows without tone disturbances and without choking the notes is ineffable. I remember when I studied the Sibelius violin concerto, I spent a lot more time in the second movement than in the first and third combined
@@alna9681 You didn't understand it
The fuga is just... absolutely beautiful.
I love your Vengeful Spirit picture :3
my respect for baroque and classical violin music only grows
that andante is simply gorgeous
Man, I wish I could play those chords even half as well as he does! Thank you for the upload, this is *extremely* helpful for anyone who's learning this :)
Do you have a good violin? Grumiaux owned both a Guarneri, the "Rose", made by Giuseppe Guarneri in 1744, and a Stradivarius, the "General Dupont", made in 1727. I think he is playing his Guarneri violin by the sound.
Hey man, this was 6 years ago? How is the progress going? Have you ever heard of Chris thile or the punch Brothers?
No musician here...just a lover of sublime western music. And this is heaven....
Everyone’s so hyped about the fugue yes I love it with all my heart as well but can we talk about that andante though?????
Kurt its absolutely amazing..crazy what this guy achieved with a solo violin
When is he gonna release his next album though I’m waiting
@@abhirambvs8818 he ded
rubydog 25 OH MAN ...OH GOD OH MAN OF GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD OH MAN OH GOD
@@abhirambvs8818 lol the oldschool is kinda dead... but I hope I can bring you some sweet Bach in the future a few years from now ;) on me.
I’m trynna imagine how that andante is played .... but I can’t even imagine it.... except that that must be hecka hard
Arthur Grumiaux , & the score,) thanks so much for sharing
Even though I do not play the violin, I am always stunned how powerful the chords/triple stops in the "Fuga" (Fugue) section! I also love the legato in the Andante section!
The Grave...speechlessly painful and beautiful
I can hear the rhythms so clearly in the grave, not a lot of players make it clear. Massive well done
I am listening to this piece for the first time. The rhythm is very confusing to me. But perhaps I will be able to understand it after more times
매우 아름답습니다. 감사합니다. Thank you for good music.
Thanks for score and music
The dissonances that Bach used are amazing!
A lovely performance by Arthur Grumiaux.
Arthur. These days underrated, but his Bach is unsurpassed.
Such a beautiful interpretation ! Thank you
8:57 à 10:50 pour moi un des instants les plus purs et beaux de l'histoire de la musique. La perfection.
Rough translation “For me in this moment there is no other prettier music in the history, perfection.”
I agree. Also the Andante is my favourite!
очень красиво. спасибо
항상 실기 시험때마다 도움 받고 있습니다 ㅎㅎ 감사해요
Why is no one talking about how DECEIVINGLY HARD andante is. It looks easy but playing the accompaniment is a no go.
how are you going with it? i just started trying andante today after hearing it on twosetviolin.. i laughed hysterically when i tried, it was a futile laughter :/ .. considering im barely a level 2 lol
jub8891 you have to play the top line and then slowly add in the accompaniment. So hard to get right
jub8891 you should wait until you get to level 5 going into 6. Because of the bow technique and maturity but if you’re looking for something good and technical check out kruetzer there are some entry level ones or wolfhart etudes are great to bring up technique
I am learning the piece right now
In love With The Andante❤️
oh neat.. there's sheet music so i can play along.......
... on second thought.....
Everyone talking about fugue and andante im just here vibing with my dude bach
18:55 THAT LAST NOTE
those cadences O_O
I decided to learn the andante, and it's going surprisingly well :O
1. Grave 0:07
2. Fuga 3:50
3. Andante 11:38
4. Allegro 15:07
The rhythm is complex and especially because of that it needs to be really accurate for the structure to be understood.
twoset made me play it 2x lol
If u can play it slowly
you can play it quickly
Ima going to make my plants grew with this one
Ive played fallout 3 countless times, this is the first im hearing this beautiful piece
Me when I start learning the fugue on marimba: *chuckles* I’m in danger.
Two set violin!
If you can play it slowly
You can play it quickly
true

how do you even play so well wtf
Is beat number two in the first measure supposed to be a g natural or a G sharp, he plays a g natural on the recording on the violin
the melody is driving me insane
i need to see a specialist
The bass note on the second beat of the first measure of the Grave should be a G natural (Bach's autograph/played by Grumiaux)(not the leading tone G# as in this score): it is a diatonic descending minor bass line: a g f e.
Bach y sus sonatas
İ like how every recording that i looked that they make allegro so much elegant (that i hate [that's why i don't like Mozart that much)] but ...This just feels epic.
I thought andante was simple till I already noticed about how it works...
My new obsession is 0:12
fascinante
....still one of the most exqusite performances, fugue especially, so clear and "shaped" I find it disturbing a bit that his "tuning" is "well-tempered" but after a while you are "in". many thx for posting the original score!
I can play this piece...
...on my computer as a recording.
The fugue almost sounds like there are 2 violinists playing.
Hardest pieces from Bach violin- Chaconne and this Fugue
I think the Fugue of the Sonata no. 3, is the hardest Bach's fugue

Do you have score in pdf?
You will find the score on IMSLP
15:00
Why is no talking about the allegro?!
Strange: first bar, second beat: it's written G sharp but the performer plays a G. On other partition, it's a G and not G sharp.
OK. and then, what?
@@bartjebartmans In the BWV 964, Bach's own transcription for keyboard, the second note is not sharp. So I don't think it's a mistake.
4:50
11:37
Why does he play a g instead of a g sharp in the beginning of the first movement? (second harmony)..anybody knows?
It’s a mistake, G natural is correct
One thing that confuses me is that the very second note is written as a G#, but every recording I can find plays an open G, why? (0:07)
typo; the bottom note's definitely a G, no doubt about it
Krusty Chicken there’s no copyright on Bach because it’s in public domain it’s probably just a typo

0:07 grave
I believe Grumiaux took the andante a little too fast but other than that this performance is wonderful.
But the point of "andante" is that it's not as slow as an "adagio". Like, it slow-ish but with a bit of energy in it.
The first movement (grave) was a little too fast. It should be only 30-40 bpm.
Bruh the third movement wtf how do I play that good
G sharp on the second note? That's wrong...
David da Silva D. lol how’d you notice
@@rubydog25 he was probably playing along
In the manuscript is g natural
Yeah but grumiaux played g natural - only the sheet music is wrong
15:06 Allegro
I think this is better than Heifetz and better than Hilary Hahn. Who shares my opinion ? Who thinks otherwise ?
Of course! His interpretation is amazing, specially in 3rd movement "Andante".
I am glad that you share my opinion. However: of course is pushing it far. Hilary Hahn is considered
one of the world best of our time. And Heifetz is considered the world best ever.
Heifetz is considered one of the greatest violinists from XX century. Not the best ever.
okay
Many violinists play bach, but few indeed perform with such a powerful chords, and Eugene Ysaÿe called Nathan Milstein "Le Roi du Violon".
Am I the only one who thought the first chord sounded like the beginning of Wieniawski Variations Op. 15?
ummm why is there a g sharp, second note in the grave.... its meant to be a g natural haha
I think that is a tritone.
Ombre Ténèbre he plays an open g so unless he the tuned his instrument... to a g sharp I don’t know what you mean....
I think that is meant to be a tritone G# and F.
Ombre Ténèbre it is not, this is a mistake in cheap editions of bach. It’s a n open g.... go look at the original bach manuscripts, there is no sharp. If u listen to the recording, he plays a g natural.
Yup I saw the manuscript looks scary though. I think that nowadays few musicians can read the original ones without a transcription.

3:50 here
I wish the andante was 40 mins
sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
that grave is sad
That's not Sonata 3?
No, that is not. That is Sonata nº 2 in A minor .
Sonata 3 is in C major

Is this played at 430 hrz?
No, its played even a little over 442 Hz
