So close to losing them forever, makes you wonder what we really lost

That just made me very happy. You guys rock.

Apparently you don't know the real story behind the "Brandenburgs." The so-called Brandenburg Concertos are merely minor updates to concertos composed for, or at least performed by, the capella of Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Coethen when Bach was the prince's Capellmeister (1717-1723). (Even after Bach left Coethen to work in Leipzig (1723-1750), he continued to hold the title "Capellmeister to His Serene Highness the Prince of Anhalt-Coethen" until the prince's death in 1728 from smallpox. Bach provided and performed the prince's funeral music.) When Bach wrapped the scores of the "Brandenburgs" to send them to the Margrave, he simply reused the Coethen wrapper. The romantic notion that poor little Bach wrote these concertos and they never got performed is BS. They had already been performed in Coethen! Lost? The "Brandenburgs" were "discovered" in the archives of Prussian Royal Library in Brandenburg in the 1840s,. But copies of earlier versions existed in the archives of the Thomasschule in Leipzig and other locations. Bach used several movements of his allegedly lost "Brandenburgs" in his Leipzig cantatas (1723-1750). The first movement of #1 and a reorchestrated version of #3 appear as cantata sinfonias. In the 1730s he rearranged #4 for recorders, harpsichord and strings, assigning the principal violin part to the harpsichord. There are 13 versions of #5 alone and several versions of #1. #1 probably dates from Bach's Weimar period (1708-1717). It was likely composed for a special occasion that involved a hunt at the estate of Duke Christian of Saxe-Weissenfels, a relative of Bach's Weimar employers, the co-reigning dukes of Saxe-Weimar. The horn parts in the 1st movement are rhythmically altered hunting calls.

@@herrickinman9303 Ok, well I was misinformed then, sorry.

@@herrickinman9303 at least one with knowledge and not a yes man

He does have that quality Bach. My worries are automatically and literaly lifted from the inside into the outside and dissipate into thin air, just like that.

"Peace world"? HAHAHAHA what are you talking about, this piece is a intense roller coaster!

You are that living thing, my brother

prometheusrex1 Awesome comment, aren’t we all that living thing indeed.

You're correct!

Bach Soli Deo Gloria

So clever and so thrilling!

I have to agree. They are magnificent!!

Yep. Listened to a lot of Bach and the Netherland's Bach Society is pretty much 'top of the pile'. Their arrangements and performances are superlative.

@Jaikee Berlin. That’s true. When my niece was 2 years old used to sit on my lap while I was playing Bach’s English Suite no 2 BOURRE, and she used to bang her head rhythmically. How I love Bach’s music. Brandenburg Concertos are responsible for my love at first “sight” towards Bach.

I fell in love with his minuet in G major when I was 4 and didn’t find out it was Bach until 16 years later

@@petrosliakopoulos101 that's the magic of classical music.

There is simplicity and great rhythm as well as complexity which is often overemphasised. No wonder kids like it but the problem is that 98% of them are never exposed to it.

@@petrosliakopoulos101 lmao bach didn't write the minuet in G major, people credited bach for it for some reason

I don't know when you were a teen, but historically clueless recordings of the Brandenburgs since the 1950s have often used several instruments per part, which may account for your perception that the performance involved 40 or 50 performers.

Interpreting it as a musical conversation is always a good way to listen to any concerto, especially when it's a concerto with an emphasis on one particular instrument.

That portion is my favorite to play! And the part with all the awesome modulation

Gave me chills!

You could to a lot of stuff that you can't do now

Deceptive Cadence!

@@matteomirri114 that's freaking great ear yes it is a V-vi in G

In my first lecture at Manchester University the lecturer began as follows: "The slow movement of Bach's Double Violin Concerto is the most beautiful piece of music ever written. DON'T ARGUE! It is my job for the next three years to convince you why this is so." He was absolutely right!

It's a gorgeous instrument.

_Masterpiece_ is one word, not two.

Violistas são sempre alegres, meu chapa

M Affourtit!

Thank you Kellie! You are so kind. I’m taking lots of vitamin B (Bach) which has been very helpful for my mind and spirit. My body is slowly catching up. Bach’s music has such an organic effect on me. It feeds my spirit, stimulates my mind and calms or revitalizes my body depending on the piece. He’s my favorite composer hands down.☺️🎵

@monica call..get well soon dear...sending ur way lots of positivity and blessings🤗🤗

Beethoven 9 is the best symphony

My favorite is his concerto in e major and the second movement is so beautiful

Snob.

​@@janecote glad you shat your fucking mouth, would be even cooler though if you managed to delete this ass comment

Sim, são maravilhosos. Bach é vida

@@corneliusnowicki5363 My bad eyes!

It looks easy in his hands.

He does a lot of showing off instead of ensemble playing.

@@pepperco100 I don't agree - I watch him and and in the movements that to you say 'showing off' I simply see a leader doing his job efficiently.

You are a poet and so correct.

@@guenzburghdcl7637 Thanks for your appreciation.

Übersetzung: Die Musik ist schön.

@@tahall5646 Ja. wahrlich schön.

Though I am quite offended you would declass the repertoire to such an extent, I will confirm that improvisation was a big part of baroque music-making. The lines betweeen composer, improviser, and performer were often blurred. Bach was (and is) legendary as an improviser, and he saw thoroughbass, a system in which only the lowermost bass notes, and the figures representing the intervals, are given, and the perfomer must 'realise' the figures according to his whim. N.B. though, that Bach after his younger years pronounced himself opposed to what he deemed "finger composing", that is, to let the compositional process be guided by the finger rather than the mind.

@@fernwehn5925 bruh

@@5sharps89 silence, zucc

It’s scored for 3 violins, 3 violas, 3 cellos, and basso continuo (in this case harpsichord and bass)

@@solooverland3666 oh you are right. My ear detected a double bass, but my eyes did not see one. Thanks! 😊

Kathryn P - the bass is behind the harpsichord, between the violins and cellos, pretty much doubling the left hand of the harpsichord 👍🏼

@@solooverland3666 good ear! I see the bass behind the harpsichord. Yup you are right. The bass doubles the left hand of the harpsichord. Thank you! 👍

Kathryn P - I’ve played this piece many times. I’d better know what the hell is going on 😜
