Summary[edit]
| Description |
Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 in B flat major, BWV 1051, first movement. Title on autograph score: Concerto 6to à due Viole da Braccio, due Viole da Gamba, Violoncello, Violone e Cembalo [no tempo indication, alla breve] (usually performed at Allegro or Allegro moderato) Bach scored the sixth concerto in this set for a combination of string instruments that is unusual in several ways. Firstly, it features the low sounding members of the string family -no violins. Secondly, the solo instruments -two violas da braccio and a cello -and the accompanying tutti instruments -two violas da gamba, violone, and harpsichord - are unusual instruments for Bach. Finally, at the beginning of the first movement the solo violas play in close canon, only an eighth note apart, like a closely argued conversation. The canonic writing becomes even more complex as the movement goes on. The choices of instruments as well as the contrapuntal complexity suggest to some Bach scholars that this Concerto might be one of his earliest instrumental works. |
