How Motifs are Used in Baroque Style - Music Composition 

This music composition lesson unpacks Bach’s Sinfonia in B minor, drawing attention to the three motifs used to compose this piece. The three motifs are unpacked and we explore both the differences and the common ground between them. We then journey through the work and discover how these ideas are used in sequence, curtailed, presented in conversation between parts, and combined in various ways. The video gives insight into this piece, into Bach’s style, and into how to write a piece using three motifs.
