Bach - Canzona in D minor BWV 588 - Schouten | Netherlands Bach Society

The Canzona in D minor, performed by Dorien Schouten for All of Bach, was based on an archaic style of composing. With the eruption of the Baroque in sixteenth-century Italy, composers became more interested in instrumental music. The main genre was the canzona, a solo or ensemble work in various movements, which evoked a whole range of moods. Bach followed the archetype in detail, which became a work that almost appears to be an exercise.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on October 1st 2015 at the Bovenkerk, Kampen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
