In this Sonata no. 3, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, Bach appears to have been looking to Italy for inspiration. The mysterious first Adagio, for instance, seems just like the opening of the Adagio of the oboe concerto by Marcello. The monumental Fugue in this sonata is full of contrapuntal tricks. Although not exactly Italian, it has no German equivalent either.
Recorded for the project All of Bach 23rd June 2019 at the Lichtfabriek, Haarlem. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
