Canzona in D minor, BWV 588 Click to Listen, [5:4]
The opening theme is played in the pedal the Great continues with this theme; a chromatic counter-theme is added and the subtle counterpoint works its way to a half cadence at slightly less than midpoint. The meter changes to from 4/4 to 3/2 and a slightly different version of the theme is introduced on the Great, but with the same chromatic counter-theme (slightly modified for the meter). Near the end there is a deceptive cadence leading to a two measure Adagio with a fuller registration to punctuate the ending.
