Johann Sebastian Bach’s Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord, this time in C Minor. Some may recognise the opening movement as being similar to Bach’s famed Aria, Erbarme Dich. Given Bach’s love for reusing various themes in different pieces, this should not come as a surprise. Rather, it demonstrates the eternal flexibility of his work, that he could create thematic material so evocative that it could be changed again and again to suit the circumstances.
