ExclusiveBach: Trio in G Major for Organ BWV 1027a

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Johann Sebastian Bach: Trio in G Major for Organ BWV 1027a. This beautiful piece was played by Carl Weinrich. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal), and is provided through musopen.org.

Bach wrote the lion’s share of his chamber music in Köthen, where he was Kapellmeister from 1717 to 1723. The court was not especially large and neither was the chapel, but it did comprise exceptionally talented musicians.

Well-known pieces that Bach wrote in Köthen include the six cello suites, for example. These demanding works may have been intended for Christian Ferdinand Abel, one of the cellists at the court of Köthen. Abel’s main instrument, however, was not the cello, but the viola da gamba – at the time still a formidable rival of the cello, and maybe more highly valued as a solo instrument. It is very likely that Bach wrote the three sonatas for cello and concertante harpsichord for him.
