Bach – Vivace!
I heard a recording of this movement from Trio Sonata No. 6 in G Major by J.S. Bach this morning on BBC Radio 3 and thought it was so lovely I couldn’t resist finding a version of it to post on my own organ, as it were. This, the first movement, appropriately enough marked Vivace, has a bouncy exuberance that I find totally wonderful. I hope you like it too.

This piece has a wonderful blend of patterns in the different parts – lovely rolling figures like the left hand of a boogie-woogie pianist and bouncing intervals like Harlem stride. It’s so rich and joyful that it must be amazing fun to play, although tricky. You must get a lot of exercise playing the organ like that!
