- Concerto in B minor, BWV 979
[12:4] (French baroque tuning at a1=415 Hz [- 3Cents] )
Based on an unknown concerto, this multimovement piece ( [Introduction] - Allegro - Adagio - Allegro - [Grave] -
Andante - Adagio - Allegro) has a lot of the usual Vivaldi-like conventions (arpeggiation, ascending sequences, unison passages near the end
of movements), plus a few unorganistic rolled or repeated chords and would probably be a bit clearer on a harpsichord as intended, but the opportunity
to use an early French instrument in unusual ways was too tempting. Pedal ad libs are not part of original score.
