Dear Listener,

Welcome to CMS’s second Solo Bach program. When we fi rst thought to present this idea during the 2016-17 season, the question arose: is music for a single instrument chamber music or not? Most defi nitions of our art form call for a small number of players, one person per part, that can fi t into a modest room. Although the absence of a conductor is also customary, the defi nitions rarely mention that.

At CMS, the defi nition of chamber music has traditionally been wider, to include everything from lieder concerts to solo recitals to cantatas and works for chamber orchestras. Occasionally, we’ve even needed a conductor. But a few requirements remain the same: we do keep to one player per part (our repertoire specifi es that); our music works well in intimate environments (or in a space such as Alice Tully Hall, where superb acoustics make the music seem right in front of you); and very importantly, intelligent dialogue is present in which all voices are equally important.

Back to the Bach question. Because of the style of his period, which was polyphonic, Bach always thought in multiple voices. The genius of his compositions for solo instruments—as you are about to hear—was his ability to create polyphony using a single instrument, chamber music for a single player. His pieces for lone cellos and violins are therefore not only miracles of invention but also enormously challenging for performers. Any of us players who are blessed with solo repertoire by Bach look to that music as an ultimate teacher of how to play properly.

And at this moment in history, it should not be left unsaid how many of us turned to Bach during the lockdown, when the only musical partners we had were ourselves. To say that Bach’s music sustained many more of us over the last two years than at any other time in history is probably not an understatement. Could it be that he wrote it for times like these?

Enjoy the performance,

PROGRAM

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

Suite in G minor for Lute, BWV 995

The philosopher and musicologist Peter Szendy has described musical transcriptions and arrangements as opportunities to let us “listen to a composer listen.” When composers transcribe their own music, they write down one way that they hear their own creations, filtered and translated according to both the capacities and the limitations of a new instrument. There is much to learn about a source piece from studying and listening to the ways it has been re-cast and re-imagined.

In his manuscript, Bach identified the Violin Sonatas and Partitas as the “first book.” We presume that a second book contained the Six Suites for Solo Cello, but only second- and third-hand copies of those suites exist.

However, we do have a copy in Bach’s hand of a lute arrangement of the Fifth Cello Suite produced in the late 1720s (BWV 995). This transcription offers us key clues to uncovering some of the nuances of what Bach may have intended from his groundbreaking set of cello compositions.

Of course, transcriptions also provide the opportunity to create

something quite new. Since the lute can play multiple lines, Bach uses this arrangement to fill out the counterpoint more fully. This clarifies many of the harmonic intentions that remain latent when hearing the piece for cello alone. The opening fugue and final gigue are full of additional voices.

The allemande and gavottes, which can come off as a bit severe in their cello versions, take some unexpected and almost cheerful tonal turns. But equally noteworthy is where Bach chooses not to take advantage of the lute’s greater contrapuntal capacity.

The intensely introspective and efficient sarabande, where a single new note can express an entire world of harmonic potential, is unaltered.

The lute plays one note at a time, just like the cello does, leaving the high emotional stakes of this music implied.

Lutenist Paul O’Dette plays his own arrangement in A minor of Bach’s transcription, a further re- casting that creates extraordinary sympathetic vibrations across his particular instrument. Does this mean we listen to O’Dette listening

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

 Born March 21, 1685, in Eisenach.

 Died July 28, 1750, in Leipzig.

Composed circa 1729.

 Tonight is the first CMS performance of this piece.

 Duration: 25 minutes

SOMETHING TO KNOW: Bach transcribed his Fifth Cello Suite for lute in the late

1720s. This transcription fills in some of the implied harmonies of the original and

casts that well-known work in a new light.

Partita No. 3 in E major for Violin, BWV 1006

In 1720, while working as the Kapellmeister in the court of Prince Leopold in Köthen, Johann Sebastian Bach put his name to a manuscript containing a set of works for solo violin. On the front page, he scrawled

“Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato.” In the intervening centuries, every part of this title has taken on a certain kind of meaning. “Sei Solo,” which really translates as “Six Solos,” could be read as a pun in Italian;

“Sei solo” on its own might be seen as a warning: “You’re on your own.” Indeed,

“senza Basso accompagnato,” without bass accompaniment, the violinist has the mammoth responsibility of filling out every harmonic function using a single, four-stringed instrument. The works contained in this collection are challenging: full of chords, rapid arpeggiations, and melodies that strive to imply whole harmonic trajectories with a single line.

Today the pieces are known more commonly as the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin. The first, third, and

formal scheme of a church sonata:

a slow introduction, a fugue, a lyrical movement, and an up-tempo finale. The second, fourth, and sixth numbers are partitas: groups of dance movements that share key and character but follow a much looser formal pattern. The Partita in B minor contains an allemande, a courante, a sarabande, and a gavotte, but also includes a “double” for each dance, a perpetual motion variation on the harmonic template of the preceding dance. The Partita in D minor has the same first three dance types, a gigue, and ends with a Chaconne, a massive set of continuous variations on a short bassline that is one of Bach’s most innovative and popular creations.

The final partita in the set is in E major. Bach, a trained violinist himself, takes advantage of the potential for brightness that this key contains by leaning heavily on the instrument’s open E string. The Prelude that opens the work establishes a cheerful motif, and then immediately and permanently subsumes

French Suite in B minor for Keyboard, BWV 814

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

Composed circa 1722-25.

 Tonight is the first CMS performance of this piece.

 Duration: 14 minutes

SOMETHING TO KNOW: This French Suite is part of a set that received its name from Bach's biographer. It may have been named for the Courante, the only French movement in an otherwise international dance suite.

Johann Nikolaus Forkel (1749-1818) was the first biographer of Johann Sebastian Bach. He told many stories about the composer, including the popular tale behind the “Goldberg”

Variations, that have been rightly questioned and contested by later scholars. But despite the likelihood that they are at the very least exaggerated, many of Forkel’s coinages have remained intimately associated with Bach’s work. So, when he said of a set of keyboard suites that Bach wrote between 1722 and 1725 that

“one usually calls them French Suites because they are written in the French manner,” the name stuck.

Many researchers have pointed out that most movements in these suites are actually written in an Italian style, though there are a couple of exceptions. The second movement of the B minor suite (BWV 814) is a French courante, marked by its compound meter and incorporation of hemiola, an intentional ambiguity between hearing the music as having three beats per measure and two.

to the very end of the movement. Two wild pedal sections, which use open strings to create complex rhythmic conflicts, contribute to the forward drive of this prelude. The movement also features a disarming tonal absence: in most preludes, Bach spends time in the dominant key, a zone of relative harmonic stability. But in this opening movement, he never fully modulates to B major, with the result that the music flies by like one enthralling run-on sentence.

The second movement, the moderately-paced French Loure dance, gives a brief moment of calm. But the following sequence of

dances, first a catchy gavotte, then stately minuets, a jolly bourrée, and a virtuosic gigue, leaves little chance to breathe. And where’s the sarabande?

We are missing that reflective and poignant dance in 3/4 that is a feature of Bach’s other two violin partitas, all of the keyboard partitas and suites, and all of the cello suites.

The perpetual motion character of

the prelude seems to have captured

Bach’s imagination as he planned

the movements that would follow,

turning this partita into a rhythmically

unstoppable display of violinistic

energy. u

But the gigue is a sparkling example of the lively and contrapuntal Italian approach to writing fi nal movements.

The fi fth movement of the suite, perhaps most ironically, is an anglaise, a popular, up-beat English country dance genre. The other movements don’t necessarily betray a particular national allegiance. They include an opening allemande that arrives

at some of the most expressive harmonies contained in the key of B minor within a few measures; a sarabande that, while maintaining a pensive character, isn’t afraid to increase the speed of the fi guration to give each phrase a dynamic shape;

and a minuet that fl ies by with a playful texture, then in the trio lingers on unexpected harmonic moves. u

Partitas on O Gott, du frommer Gott for Organ, BWV 767

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

Composed circa 1707-08.

 Tonight is the first CMS performance of this piece.

 Duration: 16 minutes

SOMETHING TO KNOW: The only work on tonight's concert that isn't a collection of dances, these partitas are instead a set of variations on the chorale in the title.

In 1698, the organist Georg Böhm took up a post at the Church of St.

John in Lüneburg that he would hold to the end of his life. When a young Johann Sebastian Bach arrived in Lüneburg in 1700, it is very likely that Böhm gave him instruction in organ performance and composition. One of Böhm’s specialties as a composer was his composition of organ partitas:

collections of variations on the melody and structure of particular chorale settings. In the years after his studies, Bach wrote a number of such sets, pushing the model of his predecessor in many novel directions.

Among these is the group of partitas for organ that Bach wrote on O Gott, du frommer Gott, or “O God, Thou faithful

God” (BWV 767). In the text, written by Johann Heermann, the speaker asks God for strength in responding to everyday fears and doubts—moments where “life is dark and cheerless”—

with “words and actions kind.” The first partita is a straightforward

harmonization of the chorale in C minor.

In the loose second partita, a bass voice makes dramatic scalar proclamations, and an upper voice replies by meting out strains of the chorale tune. Partitas III, IV, V, and VI follow the harmonic and melodic structure of the original chorale more closely, though each presents the material with a different style of counterpoint. Then Bach starts to experiment. Partita VII puts the tune in 3/4 meter, while Partita VIII closes with a chromatic coda passage carried out under a pedal C. The final chapter, Partita IX, works through each phrase of the chorale a number of times. The outer sections are quick and impressive, but these passages enclose an Andante centerpiece, where the complex relationship between C minor and E-flat major that is hinted at in other partitas is fully explored and developed. u

Suite No. 6 in D major for Cello, BWV 1012

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

Composed circa 1720.

 First complete CMS performance on December 16, 2006, by cellist Colin Carr.

 Duration: 30 minutes

SOMETHING TO KNOW: Bach followed his six violin sonatas and partitas with six cello suites. This suite was probably composed for a smaller cello-like instrument and is written in a higher range than the other five suites.

We do not have an autograph manuscript of J.S. Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello, but fortunately we do have fairly reliable copies made by his second wife, Anna Magdalena Bach, by the organist Johann Peter Kellner, and by others later in the 18th century.

Cellists performing these works are thus forced to make a number of interpretive choices, particularly with regard to bowings and phrasing decisions, since Bach’s preferences in that regard are not directly known. In performances of the Sixth Cello Suite, players also have to make a number of compromises and challenging decisions with regard to fingerings.

This is because the Sixth Suite was not written for a modern cello, but for a related five-stringed instrument—likely the Violoncello Piccolo. That extra string would make much of Bach’s music easier to perform, particularly an E-minor drone passage that occurs in the prelude and the bright, open chords that appear in the allemande, sarabande, and gavottes. On a four- string cello, the performer is forced to play these sections higher up on the instrument. This challenge accentuates a feature that is already present in

this final suite: it is an impressive and virtuosic composition. Even accounting for the extra string, the prelude goes higher up than any of the other cello suites. It also features a massive cadenza that traverses the full range of the instrument. The sublime sarabande is entirely double stops; the gigue cascades across the four strings with rollicking two-voiced descents.

There are those who argue that the Cello Suites may have been written before the violin Sonatas and Partitas.

The Suites follow a fixed movement format, and some stylistic elements suggest that they are slightly less complex than their violin counterparts.

But listening to the final Cello Suite, it is hard not to feel that it is the culmination not only of the six works for cello, but of the violin pieces as well. By writing for five strings, Bach effectively combined the tonal and technical capabilities of these two instruments. This choice helped him to create music with an almost unprecedented expressive range, where a cello finds itself able fill a concert space variably with the sound of a bass, a violin, a keyboard, or an organ. u
