ExclusiveBach: Organ Sonata No 1 in E flat major BWV 525 Lute and Harpsichord

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Johann Sebastian Bach: Organ Sonata No. 1 in E-flat major, BWV 525 (Lute and Harpsichord). The player of this beautiful piece is not listed. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal), and is provided through musopen.org.

The organ sonatas, BWV 525–530 by Johann Sebastian Bach are a collection of six sonatas in trio sonata form. Each sonata has three movements, with three independent parts in the two manuals and obbligato pedal. The collection is generally regarded as one of Bach's masterpieces for organ. The sonatas are also considered to be amongst his most difficult compositions for the instrument.

The collection was assembled in Leipzig in the late 1720s and contained reworkings of prior compositions by Bach from earlier cantatas, organ works, and chamber music as well as some newly composed movements. The sixth sonata, BWV 530, is the only one for which all three movements were specially composed for the collection.

When played on an organ, the second manual part is often played an octave lower on the keyboard with appropriate registration. Commentators have suggested that the collection might partly have been intended for private study to perfect organ technique, some pointing out that its compass allows it to be played on a pedal clavichord.
