TRIOSONATE

Stefano Agostini flute
Salvo Marcuccio guitar
Veronica Barsotti guitar

We started the Bach Project in 2016 with the harpsichord-violin sonatas. This magnificent set, one of the highest peaks in Bach’s production, includes five sonatas (BWV1014 to BWV1018) in the “standard” sonata da chiesa four movement format (slow-fast-slow-fast) and one in an un precedented five movement shape (BWV 1019), with a central allegro for solo harpsichord (!) flanked by two slow movements, with opening and closing allegros. The six sonatas include most of the availbale musical styles of Bach’s time, from italian concerto allegros, to cantata duets, to intricate fugal writing.
