THIS is a collection of six Bach pieces, nearly all taken from his music for keyboard instruments. Sir Henry Wood has scored these pieces for modern orchestra, but in doing so ho has tried to adhere faithfully throughout to the spirit of the original.
THIS Concerto is in three Movements.
-L The FIRST MOVEMENT, beginning with a slowish Introduction, goes on to the discussion of themes in turn impassioned and calm.
The SECOND MOVEMENT, Quick and playful, is a dainty piece of work.
The THIRD MOVEMENT (tho Finale) is also a very lively piece, in the style of tho excitable Tarantella dance.
