SIMON GABRIELOW Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) I have had a copy of this piece for many years; and always particularly liked the slowest movement [Sarabande].. it has great feeling within its solo melodic line, and gives a good basic challenge to play with feeling on any instrument. As with most Bach's works; there always seems to be a universality to it, and it often suits many instrument, in fact virtually any kind [ at least i believe]... even those never invented at the time of Bach's own life. The funny thing is that often playing it on my Anglo concertina, I [probably have to consider using similar 'breathing' spaces to a flautist. [when using bellows] ; which is an unusual parallel I think. Here is my own humble attempt at the A minor Sarabande [ by J.S Bach] Edited September 20, 2022 by SIMON GABRIELOW forgot to put video in [oops!]. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunks Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I'm learning the sarabande from the cello suit #4 in Eb major. I play by ear and I'm hearing and feeling dance rhythms. As I understand the sarabande was a dance form. Does anyone Know of a video re-enactment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
