While the Siciliano is very popular because of its transcription for other instruments, and the Allegro a close second favorite due to extensive radio play on classical radio stations, it is, in my humble opinion, the opening Allegro Moderato that is a piece of universal beauty that defines what JS Bach is all about. It makes one smile. It lifts the spirits. It helps us see something more than just ourselves.
Exactly. I recently learned all three. When you play them, you gain a new understanding and feel for the piece. As if you are speaking, no, listening to Bach. Very beautiful!
The Sonata in E♭ major for flute or recorder and harpsichord, probably by J. S. Bach (BWV 1031) .. was attributed to him by two independent sources, Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in the manuscript copy of the work in his handwriting, and Christian Friedrich Penzel, Bach's last pupil ... suggested alternatively that BWV 1031 was based on a previous work for flute in E-flat by Johann Joachim Quantz ... WIKI
I'd never thought before how similar parts of the first movement are to that of Sonata G minor, particularly around the 2-3 minute mark. I always forget this one exists but the last movement is lovely.
My orchestra arrangement of this piece as "Symphony in E♭ major" Woodwinds: 2 Oboes Bassoon Brass: 2 Natural Horns in E♭ Strings: Violins 1, 2 Violas Continuo (Cellos, Basses and Harpsichord)
It was a grandiose audacity not to have created the same format and appearance if I worked to apply it to the immeasurable works of so many other splendid composers at the time.
Mozart draws from II. Siciliano in his famous Adagio Piano Concerto 23. II, eulogizing J.C. Bach, indicating he may have had first-hand knowledge of its origin laying with the deceased.
The only chance Mozart could have learnt of BWV 1031's existence would have to be from J.C. Bach which is extremely unlikely. It's more probable both movements are inspired by an earlier shared source which didn't survive.
Glad to know it was Stephen Preston. At first I didn't realize it was a traverso, he gets such a big sound, but that explains the slightly muffled sound of the lower notes.
That is a tough one. Breitkopf says just "Siciliano" without clear tempo indication. For comparison, Mozart's tragic siciliani are marked Adagio (e.g. K.488, mov. 2) or Andante (e.g. "Ach, ich fühls").
Most probably an arrangement of a trio for violin, lute and violoncello. Neither BWV 1031 nor its sister work BWV 1020 match the style of _any_ Bach family member, but it seems quite possible that they are relics of original chamber works with lute by Carl Heinrich Graun (who studied with S. L. Weiss). See my article in Bach Jahrbuch 2013.
My guess is that Bach copied the lost original manuscript, without mentioning the composer in the title, like he did with the St. Luke Passion BWV 246. The copy would now also be lost. CPE Bach then copied that copy, mistakenly attributing it to his father.
Beautiful but boxed music def Bach pushed forward a lot harmonically but was a lot into math opened way up for Mozart to continue musical journey ....RIP
Strange that the flute player plays everything legato. In the time of Bach non-legato was the preferred way of playing, or very short legati. In my opinion (but that is a matter of taste) it would be much more lively with less legato, and still be very peaceful.

Yes, it’s a testament to the power of music!

The first 30 seconds is in my opinion one of the prettiest pieces of music composed
0:44 allegro
4:00 siciliano
6:14 allegro
Barroco music plays with your brain, it´s like seeing numbers patterns , or geometric figures
Mathematicians love Bach
REST IN PEACE LEGEND GERU! WILL BE ALWAYS MISSED!
omg...
I didn't know he had passed away until now T_T
Rest in Peace....
Wait what happened?
Whether it was composed by Bach or one of his son or even Qantz, it would still remain a quite charming sonata
it reminds me a lot of his son Christian
he'd really got his father's genes after all
indeed
Whoever wrote it, that last movement is some of the most exuberant, joyous music I've ever heard.
ddr513 exactly! Singing the bass line turns me into a four year old
Bach wrote this
Se nota a leguas el estilo contrapuntístico de Johhan Sebastian Bach, el Dios de la Música. A mí el tercer movimiento me arranca lágrimas
"Joyous" is the adjective that came to me too.
i find the first movement the most moving
God I've always this Siciliano ever since I heard a piano version played by Dinu Lipatti.. forever in my heart
Awesome! I really love this! I wish every one a happy time, just like I felt when I listened to this music!
this is one of my all time favorite sonatas ever!! 😍👍 cheers
Het mooiste wat ik ooit zelf heb gespeeld
It sounds so beautiful...
Bach is awesome.
this song made me cry so beautiful it is
i’m playing it today for NYSSMA 😤

Gerubach, thank you very much for preparing and publishing this and other samples of J.S.Bach's heritage. Good luck in your commitment!

Thanks for uploading!
Этот клавесин звучит чертовски идеально
Que lindo, demasiado lindo... me tengo que tapar los ojos cuando escucho el tercer movimiento, siento que toca mucho mi corazón.
The bassline is off the wall on the Allegro, I'm playing along on my bass guitar.
I think the bass is the very part that seems very un-Bach to me!
I heard a recording like that. Im playing the flute solo and i thought this would be impossible on guitar. Goodstuff
i love you channel!!
Very nice!
This is the old Bach!

Questa è la sonata per flauto e clavicembalo che preferisco in assoluto. È anche un'opera tra le mie preferite in assoluto.
Awesome
This sounds much more like one of JS Bach's sons.
Ekvitarius Sounds quite like CPE Bach imo
doesn't sound like Abel
No it doesn't
My orchestra arrangement of this piece as "Symphony in E♭ major"
Woodwinds:
2 Oboes
Bassoon
Brass:
2 Natural Horns in E♭
Strings:
Violins 1, 2
Violas
Continuo (Cellos, Basses and Harpsichord)
It was a grandiose audacity not to have created the same format and appearance if I worked to apply it to the immeasurable works of so many other splendid composers at the time.
This piece really is amazing. I feel it could be a flute solo, piano solo, or flute-piano duet
The Siciliano is one of the more beautiful pieces for flute.
Names of the musicians and group should be made clear at the begining of this video (very difficult to find). Thanks
Playing this for my freshman jury!
I’m playing for my freshman jury now! (Second semester)
looks like mozart wa heavily inspired by the siciliano to write his 2nd movement of the A-major piano concerto
Estoy aquí por ayudar a una chava en su graduación .-.

perfect theme for banette.
Banette? You mean the Pokémon?
@@needleboy17 yeah.
It could also work for nick wilde.
Which movement?
@@needleboy17 movements 1 & 3
I have to say, if this wasn't written by Bach himself, it was some one working hard to imitate him
Hard to imagine anyone else with this level of genius.
6:12 dizzy kitty
3rd movement, 3/8.
@@needleboy17 hmm... how?
@@bardthenascarfanaticdragon The sheet says its time signature is 3/8.
@@needleboy17 okay.
Tuning: +35c: A4 = 449Hz
Scrolling is weird. I forgot the key signature by the time it got to the 3rd measure
Yes very true , the IInd movement is even in an other key , G minor which has 2 flats instead of Eb Major 3 flats.
beautiful recording, who are the performers?
Stephen Preston - traverso,
Trevor Pinnock- Harpsichord
Jorge Savall - viola dá gamba
No viola da gamba in this sonata!
Cesar Sales
The talent in that recording booth.....
Glad to know it was Stephen Preston. At first I didn't realize it was a traverso, he gets such a big sound, but that explains the slightly muffled sound of the lower notes.
Does anyone know what the tempo was for the siciliano?
In the sheet it says 60 quarters a minute
That is a tough one. Breitkopf says just "Siciliano" without clear tempo indication. For comparison, Mozart's tragic siciliani are marked Adagio (e.g. K.488, mov. 2) or Andante (e.g. "Ach, ich fühls").

Sounds a bit galante in my opinion maybe it was written by CPE Bach?
Choral nun komm der Heiden heiland
bach composed in the galant style!!!!!!!
@@bronktug2446 CPE Bach had a copy by his own handwriting and attributed it to his father.
Probably JSB, inspired by a sonata by Quantz
