Brandi
A 2nd movement to J. S. Bach's 3rd Brandenburg Concerto
Instrumentation:
3 Violins
3 Violas
3 Celli
Contrabass
Harpsichord
Performance note
Where the dynamics are not given, following the baroque tradition, an expressive variety of microdynamics is recommended.
In the concluding section, the attacks of the harmonics should be non-accented, yet rhythmical. For the harmonics, use open strings whenever
possible.
Notation
l.v.
/
let vibrate (don't damp after plucking. Let strings vibrate as long as possible.)
(for harpsichord: keep the keys pressed down as long as convenient.)
portamento espressivo.
o
diminuendo al niente, let the sound disappear completely.
Harpsichord
A harpsichord with a strong solo 4´ stop and the minimum sounding range of GG-e"' is needed. For tuning a "well-tempered" tuning or other late
baroque temperament is recommended.
The harpsichord part should be executed as written, i.e. without any baroque performance practice conventions.
