- Canzona in D minor, BWV 588
[5:23] (a=460 Hz)
The opening theme is played in the pedal (Manuaal Praestant 8' permanently coupled to Pedaal Subbas 16'), the Manuaal 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 ( Manuaal adds Principael 4') 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 (Manuaal adds Octaaf 2' + Quintanus 1-1'2') there is a deceptive cadence leading to a
two measure Adagio with a fuller registration (Manuaal adds Mixtuur 3 Sterck) to punctuate the ending.
