Concerto in A minor (after Vivaldi), BWV 593 Click to Listen [10:30]
Bach's transcription of a violin concerto in three movements: Allegro - Adagio - Allegro. The first movement was one of the few pieces I actually memorized, and often began recitals with it to "relax." There are a few extra ornaments added to prevent boredom. Instrument: Schantz/Rodgers, (1966/2000) at First Baptist Church of Riverside, California recorded by Jonathan Orwig

Recorded directly with MIDI-enabled Pipe Organ
