Fun fact: Bach liked his Violin Concerto No. 1 in a minor so much, that he decided he'd adapt it for the Harpsichord- and it became the Harpsichord Concerto No. 7 in g minor.  Likewise, Bach liked his Harpsichord Concerto No. 5 in f minor so much, that it also became the Violin Concerto No. 3 in g minor!  

What can we tell from this habit?  We think that it shows that Bach's music was really meant to be played for any instrument, in any setting.  That's part of why we feel so comfortable playing this Concerto in a very chamber music setting: just two instruments.  This movement is SO satisfying to the players- and hopefully the audience as well!- just allowing yourself to sink into the weight of these chords gives such a deep pleasure.  The clarity of every note becomes a thing of perfection!

On another note, to those of you who live in Rochester- and even those who don't: We will be doing a benefit concert for the Ukraine Medical Relief Fund on Dec. 3!  We were approached by my old school, Allendale Columbia, to help with this project, and could not be happier to do so.  Specifically, this is a concert and bake sale organized and put on by the 8th graders- I couldn't be prouder of them for doing such great work.  Tickets are free, but reservations are required- please follow the link below to reserve your spot- and DONATE, even if you won't be able to make it!
