[...]\r\n\r\nBoth [Italian Concerto and French Suite] are translations into keyboard terms of forms associated with orchestral music – although the keyboard writing is so idiomatic that neither could ever be mistaken for an arrangement of an actual orchestral work.\r\n...Markings of forte and piano indicate the use of the two keyboards of the harpsichord to differentiate between tutti and solo passages, and between solo and accompaniment.\r\nThe central D minor Andante consists of a long, floridly decorated melody over an ostinato accompaniment – a texture clearly devised for the harpsichord, with its lack of sustaining power, but equally well suited to the modern piano with its potential for subtle shading.\r\nThe finale is again in Venetian ritornello form, this time with a final “solo” episode recapitulating the material of the first two episodes, in reverse order, before the closing complete statement of the buoyant ritornello. [...]\r\n\r\nThe Partita No. 6 in E minor is in many respects the most ambitious of the six, and it certainly makes no concessions, technical or musical, to the amateurs who were presumably its intended market.\r\nIt opens with a Toccata, which begins by alternating between quasi-improvisatory flourishes and rhythmic two-part writing, continues with an extended three-voice fugue, and finally returns to and expands on the opening flourishes.\r\nThe Allemande is heavily encrusted with ornamental detail in both hands.\r\nThe Corrente (or Italian-style courante) moves lightly, with a regular pulse in the left hand, and the right hand for much of the time off the beat.\r\nThe first interpolated number is an Air, in gavotte time, with running quavers in each hand in turn and a little arpeggiated coda.\r\nThe Sarabande is even more lavishly decorated than the Allemande – another example of Bach’s skill as an improviser being transferred to the written or printed page.\r\nThe second “novelty number” is marked to be played in gavotte time, but its notation combines equal and dotted rhythms with triplets, so that for much of its length it has the effect of a gigue.\r\nThe final Gigue, on the other hand, is notated in dotted and equal rhythms, as if in 4\/2 time: some players have reinterpreted the whole movement in traditional gigue time in the compound metre of 24\/8; but gigues in duplet rhythms were not unknown in the Baroque period, and this performance retains Bach’s written note-values.\r\nThe movement is in three-part contrapuntal texture almost throughout, with a fugal opening which is turned upside-down at the beginning of the second half.\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;font: initial;background: initial;background-blend-mode: initial;border: initial;border-radius: initial;border-collapse: initial;caption-side: initial;clear: initial;columns: initial;column-fill: initial;column-rule: initial;column-span: initial;cursor: initial;flex: initial;flex-flow: initial;float: initial;height: initial;letter-spacing: initial;margin: initial;max-height: initial;max-width: initial;min-height: initial;min-width: initial;overflow: initial;padding: initial;text-align: initial;text-decoration: initial;text-indent: initial;text-transform: initial;vertical-align: initial;border-spacing: initial;width: initial\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Octavia Records","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739428139332,"sku":"EXCL00021-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739428172100,"sku":"EXCL00021-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739428204868,"sku":"EXCL00021-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739428237636,"sku":"EXCL00021-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739428270404,"sku":"EXCL00021-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739428303172,"sku":"EXCL00021-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57311060984132,"sku":"EXCL00021-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/EXCL00021.jpg?v=1790543571"},{"product_id":"ovcl00665-schubert-schumann-works-for-violin-viola-and-piano","title":"Schubert, Schumann - Works For Violin, Viola And Piano","description":"","brand":"Octavia Records","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739434398020,"sku":"OVCL00665-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739434430788,"sku":"OVCL00665-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739434463556,"sku":"OVCL00665-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739434496324,"sku":"OVCL00665-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739434529092,"sku":"OVCL00665-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57311062851908,"sku":"OVCL00665-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/OVCL00665.jpg?v=1790544661"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/collections\/Octavia.png?v=1789307296","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/collections\/octavia-records.oembed","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
