Trio Sonata No. 4, BWV 528 Click to Listen, [10:0] (A=465)
The invocatory Adagio is unique among the 6 Trio Sonatas, making the movements 4 in number. It quickly gives way to a bright Vivace, with two main themes. The first theme of the Andante is based on melodic intervals of a fourth; the second theme includes progressive intervals of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and sometimes 6th; the two themes are combined at the end of this movement. The sassy Un poco Allegro theme also begins with a fourth.
