J.S.Bach - TRIO SONATA #2 in C Minor (BWV 526)

In this video I play the second Trio Sonata in C minor (BWV 526) by J.S.Bach on my Hauptwerk organ. The sample set is Noordbroek by Sonus Paradisi.

Bach wrote 6 trio sonatas for the organ. They were made as pieces to strengthen the organ technique of his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann. The sonatas were written when Bach was well established. The didactic purpose is clear but as regular music pieces they are stunning. They sound easy to play but are definitely not. The delicacy is tricky and requires a good overview on the 3 independant parts that intertwine constantly.

The collection was put together in Leipzig in the late 1720s and contained reworkings of prior compositions by Bach from earlier cantatas, organ works and chamber music as well as some newly composed movements. The sixth sonata, BWV 530, is the only one for which all three movements were specially composed for the collection.
