- Trio Sonata No. 1, BWV 525
[13:29]
The first of six pieces written by Johann for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedeman
Bach, to learn keyboard technique. He may have practiced them on a two manual
and pedal clavichord. But the sounds are delightful, and organists still study
and perform them. The subject of the Allegro moderato (not marked as such by Bach] consists of a series of triads in the manuals, punctuated by
the pedal, which occasionally joins in the subject, which is turned upside near the end of the movement. The Adagio is a lyrical duet between
the two hands which swoop over one another on their own manual keyboards. Both sections repeat with different registrations. The closing
Allegro has a jumpy octave theme which is echoed in all three voices, and again contains two repeated sections.
