Bach Sonata No. 2 Andante with Miriam Fried

One of the most vivid examples of the unchallenged peak that Bach accomplished in Violin solo compositions. The Andante offers a flowing melody over a steady bass line (unbroken eighth notes) in the manner of a Vivaldi concerto. A third and a fourth voices enter from time to time to enrich the harmony. The Allegro finale leaves chords behind and adopts the conceit of perpetual motion, with some considerable use of echo effects. Professor: Miriam Fried. Assistant: Fumika Mohri.
