Johann Sebastian Bach: the Complete Works For Keyboard, Vol. 8: Köthen, 1717-1723 - For Maria Barbara

Benjamin Alard (early keyboard instruments)

Eagerly pursuing his exploration of Bach’s corpus for solo keyboard, Benjamin Alard focuses here on works associated with the composer’s first wife, Maria Barbara, and her untimely death in 1720.

This instalment therefore includes both the Inventions and Sinfonias, a collection of teaching pieces brimming with freshness and invention, and the prodigious French Suites, one of the peaks of Bach’s years in Cöthen.

Inventionen & Sinfonias BWV 772-801; Französische Suiten BWV 812-817;
Sonate d-moll BWV 964 (nach der Sonate für Violine solo BWV 1003); Chaconne d-moll (nach dem 5. Satz der Partita für Violine solo BWV 1004); Präludium & Fuge d-moll BWV 539 (nach dem 2.
