The first is also emphasized, the second also &#8230; only by being four-voice. This must also be taken into account, as I shall say, by the fact that the rules of the Slur Code [intersect]&#8230;<br \/><br \/>There are times when the slurs suggest that a beat is unstressed, but there is<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> suddenly<\/span> a four-voice chord. This is, of course, accentuated.<br \/><br \/>In bar 25, Bach wrote a tie in connection with<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> a<\/span> slur. That is, the intermediate beat between the 2nd and 3rd beats is emphasized.

Bach wants the eighth note to be<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> explicit.<\/span><br \/><br \/>Bach writes here for the first time<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> rests<\/span> in the lower voice. This is very unusual.<br \/><br \/>I also asked myself what harmonies do we have here? Could that be the dominant, for example? [plays the second beat with C# and A in the lower voices] Could be possible.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Or do we slowly return from B minor to G major, to the subdominant? It could even develop the tonic.<br \/><br \/>I once looked up &#8211; when it comes to pitches, I sometimes look at Kellner, this is the 2nd transcript we have. Actually, the first one, created before that of Anna Magdalena Bach.<br \/><br \/>There I actually found<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> something i was looking for,<\/span> because Kellner writes a small<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> grace<\/span> note before the E, namely a C#. Thus, the dominant is clear. But, I believe that is an ingredient of Kellner&#8217;s. Sometimes you find something like this, he was a composition student of Bach&#8217;s.<br \/><br \/>But Kellner has obviously also &#8220;scratched his head&#8221;: What are actually here for harmonies, where these<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> rests<\/span> are? Bach could have written a few more notes, so we could know where we are in harmony. Bach purposefully did not do that.<br \/><br \/>And then a special feature at this point: There is a small slur and is actually a tie above the high G.<br \/><br \/>This is so uncommon to link a sixteenth note syncopated before the next beat, so that I have been wondering for a long time whether this slur has just<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> gotten out of place.<\/span> Would not this<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> slur<\/span> really be on the F#? But the F# is the third of the tonic and would thus be more<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> highlighted<\/span> with a small slur &#8230;<br \/><br \/>In any case, no matter where the slur stands, the top note G would be accentuated in both cases.<br \/><br \/>So if I play [plays the slur on the note F#], the second beat would be accentuated with the top note G, according to the Slur Code.<br \/><br \/>If, on the other hand, I play [playing a<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> tie <\/span>on the note G], the top note G is also accentuated. I even<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> prolong<\/span> the G a little.<br \/><br \/>This version seems to me to be more<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> exceptional<\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">.<\/span> That is why I play this slur as it stands. There is no reason, from my point of view, to play it differently.<br \/><br \/>And now, on the third beat is a clear dominant seventh chord, more precisely, the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> secondary <\/span>dominant to the subdominant. There is another pause in the bass<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> in<\/span> the bar.<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><br \/><br \/><strong>Measure 30<\/strong><br \/><br \/>The resolution to the subdominant with sixth takes place, it is the same chord as in bar 2, exactly the same pitch constellation. Here, however, with a slur, thereby emphasizing the tonic of the second beat.<br \/><br \/>In the second beat is not a slur, but again in the third beat, whereby the dissonance in the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> following bar <\/span>is emphasized.<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><br \/>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><strong>Measure 31<\/strong><br \/><br \/>The harmony of the first beat is unclear, we do not yet know what the result of this<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> will be:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">[<\/span>plays the first beat with a slur]<br \/><br \/>The second beat is unstressed. There could be a resolution in the upper voice [plays D &#8211; C#], but it does not happen. The note G is not\u00a0 <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">tied.<\/span> although half notes are in the bass and in the upper part. But we have already discussed the exception in this<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> movement.<br \/><br \/><\/span>In the third beat we have only two-part<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> voicing.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><strong>Measure 32<\/strong><br \/><br \/>Here is the four-part chord. I already mentioned that because you spoke of the sonority at the beginning, &#8230;<br \/><br \/><strong>BW<\/strong>: Yes, of course.<br \/><br \/><strong>MB<\/strong>: &#8230; in connection with the end of the first part, because you<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> add<\/span>\u00a0 more notes. Here we see that Bach<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> omits pitches<\/span> on the third beat of the preceding b<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">ar<\/span>. He could have left the note A in <span style=\"color: #000000;\">the<\/span> bass.<br \/><br \/>The reason is the following, Bach would like the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> volume of the\u00a0<\/span> four-voice <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">chord in the end<\/span> to<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> distinguish it from the preceding sound.<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/div>\r\n\u2013 (the harmonic situation is clear) &#8211; and this is<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> emphasized more by moving <\/span>from two-voices to four-voice<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">s<\/span>, than from three-voices to a four-voice<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">s.<\/span>.<br \/>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><br \/>And, there is one more thing, it is here the first time, where the tonal space extends under the G-string. This deep D had not previously occurred. Everything played has been over the G string.<br \/><br \/>And, at the same time, there arises an interference between the lowest and highest strings, namely, between D and C#, <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">a major seventh.\u00a0 This<\/span> I can just play with the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> gently curved bow.<\/span> you can of course execute it<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> more smoothly with the highly arched bow.<br \/><br \/><\/span>The bass note D I try to keep as long as possible. The conclusion is then two-part, somewhat more<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> sonorous <\/span>than the end of the first part.<br \/><br \/><strong>BW<\/strong>: This has a certain greatness that Bach is still producing this friction with the C# in this chord<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> in another situation. <\/span>This makes the door open a little<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> once again.<\/span> This extension is not expected, but rather a final conclusion. And then that friction comes in. That&#8217;s just Bach.<br \/><br \/><strong>MB<\/strong>: Yes, and it is also thematic. I had already spoken about the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> cambiata <\/span>[plays G &#8211; E &#8211; F#], and from this<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> develops<\/span> [plays G &#8211; F# &#8211; G &#8211; E &#8211; F# from bar 4], and <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">[<\/span>the upper voice of bar 7f] And from this<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> develops<\/span> [plays the bars 16ff and the bar 21], now even two-part.<br \/><br \/>And these repetitions are actually the result of the\u00a0 <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">augmentation of this small cambiata<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">:<\/span> [plays G &#8211; E \u2013 F# (measure 4), then E &#8211; C# &#8211; D (measure 2)]<br \/><br \/>This is exactly what we have in the end: [plays mid-voice of bar 31 and the upper-voice of bar 32]<br \/><br \/><strong>BW<\/strong>: Yes, beautiful. It&#8217;s totally interesting. Very good, really.<br \/><br \/><strong>MB<\/strong>: Yes, you can do it all<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> only with the curved bow.<\/span><br \/><br \/><strong>BW<\/strong>: The curved bow is absolutely necessary for this piece. I mean, only the curved bow makes it possible to explore the meaning of this work. Arpeggiating with the straight bow<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> change<\/span>&#8230; the breaking of the chords shifts the existing rhythm. The listener, as a result of the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> decomposition <\/span>of the chords with the straight bow, must reconstruct them<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> mentally<\/span> again.<\/div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><br \/><strong>MB<\/strong>: This i<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">s one thing. If we have a consonant chord, like G major or D major, one could theoretically not need to keep all the notes to the end.<\/span><br \/>We can also play them like this: [plays a three-part D major sound and continues this two-part, then ending with the upper voice<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> alone.<\/span>]<br \/><br \/><strong>BW<\/strong>: Yes, of course, but important is how it starts: [sings pa-da-]<br \/><br \/><strong>MB<\/strong>: I wanted to say something else. It is not just that<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> all <\/span>notes of a chord sound together<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> at the beginning and then\u00a0 <\/span>the upper voice is<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> sustained <\/span>for melodic reasons, and the lower notes are left. This is possible when we have resolutions such as at the end: [plays measure 32 with an arpeggio]<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Here I<\/span> could imagine something like that<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> too.<\/span> But in this movement it is as we have seen [the beginning of bar 2] that the bass note should be<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> sustained <\/span>because it is not<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> resolved <\/span>here.<br \/><br \/>In this movement, <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">only one<\/span> bass note is immediately resolved, namely, at the end (bar 28f) to B minor: [plays A# &#8211; B]<br \/><br \/>Thus: [plays measure 28 with<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> resolution to the <\/span>bass note B.] Such effects can only be obtained if the other bass notes, which are not resolved, can also be sustained. This can only be done with the curved bow.<br \/><br \/>You can not break chords up and then down again: [plays a D major chord with an arpeggio up and then down] If you want to end<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> a chord including <\/span>the bass note, you can only use a bow that allows you to have multiple voices.<br \/><br \/>I&#8217;m just wondering if &#8230; I do not know a single movement from the suites where I do not play, if possible, the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> notated note values.<\/span><br \/><br \/>Because, there is always a compositional reason for the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> note values.<\/span> It is so, I play the<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> note<\/span> values not merely because they are writtten so, but because they make sense.<br \/><br \/>In this<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> movement<\/span> this was shown. But there are still quite different cases, where Bach even<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> notates a prime in the bass<\/span> in the Chaconne for violin (bar 13). Even if you can do it on the violin,<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> it does not go on the cello.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">T<\/span>he <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">p<\/span>rim<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">e<\/span> will hardly play\u00a0 because you do not hear it.<br \/><span lang=\"en\"><br \/>This prime has<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> a <\/span>reason: that the lower voice is accentuated, that further development takes place in the lower voice. This can be done wonderfully with the curved bow by simply playing the full chord and releasing the upper notes to sustain the bass note: [plays D major and ends with the bass note]<br \/><br \/>You do not have to play like this: [plays arpeggio up and then down]<br \/><br \/><strong>BW<\/strong>: That makes no sense.<br \/><br \/>MB: Traditionally, this is done<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> like that<\/span> with the straight bow.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a translation of the post Urtext = Klartext?
