Johann Sebastian Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (1720) are the the spiritual and intellectual summit of the solo violin repertoire. The opening movement of the Sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001, Adagio, builds onto a carefully constructed bass progression, punctuated by suspensions and long-range voice-leading that suggests an implicit polyphony. Woven into it are embellishments in the tradition of the baroque "Affektenlehre", not just as decorative additions, but structural carriers of meaning: each flourish shapes harmonic tension, articulates cadential arrival, and generates the sense of inward speech that defines the movement’s ethos. For historical background on "Affektenlehre", look back to Giulio Caccini (1551–1618), who developed "stile rappresentativo", where the leading voice moves beyond a purely monodic presentation toward rhythmic flexibility and expressive freedom — a tradition of affective, speech-shaped phrasing that resonates deeply with Bach’s Adagio.

In this concert, the movement appears in a new light — through the piano transcription by Sergio Fiorentino (1927–1998). Fiorentino’s Bach transcription does not “thicken” the texture; instead it reveals the latent inner voices and polyphonic layers already present in Bach’s writing, allowing harmonic weight, resonance, and cantabile depth to emerge.

To honor and remember the children who lost their lives in the tragic shooting in Graz on June 10, 2025, Nareh opened her recital with this work.

Johann Sebastian Bachs Solo Sonaten und Partiten (1720) bilden einen geistigen und künstlerischen Höhepunkt des Repertoires für Solo-Violine. Der erste Satz der g-Moll Sonate, BWV 1001, Adagio, baut auf eine streng geführte Basslinie mit langen Spannungsbögen und verdeckten Gegenstimmen auf. Darüber lagern sich Ornamente im Sinne der barocken Affektenlehre und werden selbst Teil der tragenden Struktur. Siehe auch Giulio Caccini (1551–1618) und sein "stile rappresentativo".

Nareh präsentiert as Adagio in der Klaviertranskription von Sergio Fiorentino (1927–1998).

Im Andenken an die Kinder, die am 10. Juni 2025 in Graz auf tragische Weise ihr Leben verloren haben, eröffnete Nareh ihr Konzert mit diesem Werk.
