HDM IN CONCERT: Bach – Sonaten & Partiten I 2025
S. Bach's sonatas and partitas have been preserved in autograph form; this document is one of the most beautiful manuscripts in the history of music. It only reappeared around 1890 and was offered for sale to Johannes Brahms, who doubted its authenticity. Today its authenticity has been proven, the original is in the Berlin State Library and is widely available as a facsimile. Bach noted the year 1720 on the title page. It can be assumed that the works were written during Bach's first, happy period as "Hochfürstlich Anhalt-Cöthnischer würcklicher Capellmeister" at the court of the enlightened Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Köthen from 1717 for playing music in a small circle. Today, the pieces are regarded as the "Old Testament of violin music". In two concerts, two important, internationally successful violinists of our time dedicate themselves to essential parts of this compendium. The Greek-American Ariadne Daskalakis teaches in Cologne and performs worldwide with music from the Baroque to the modern era. Fabio Nieder, the unmistakable composer from Trieste who lives in Romania, will contribute new pieces for both concerts. The first piece for this concert refers to the Chaconne from Bach's Partita in D minor. "It is an almost exclusively monodic composition. The sound of the violinist, alla corda, and almost with the character of a speaking hoarse voice, articulates a ductus in which one imagines hearing words. Words that remain hidden in the instrumental sound," says Fabio Nieder.
