Andante III. Un poco AllegroJ.S. Bach's Trio Sonata No. 4 in E minor, BWV 528, is one of the six trio sonatas for organ composed around 1727-1730. Here are some key points about this work: Structure and Movements It is a three-movement work written for two manuals (keyboards) and an organ pedal, following the typical slow-fast-slow pattern. The movements are Adagio - Vivace, Andante, Un poco allegro. The opening Adagio-Vivace movement is a transcription of the sinfonia from Bach's Cantata No. 76 "Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes". It exemplifies the trio sonata texture with two melodic lines in the manuals and a bass line in the pedal. The two upper voices engage in intricate counterpoint, recalling the style of Bach's Two-Part Inventions, while the bass provides harmonic support with occasional dance rhythms. It exhibits the influence of the Italian concerto style, with the two manuals alternating between imitative solo passages and unison/third passages resembling orchestral tutti sections. Along with the other trio sonatas, it was likely composed as a pedagogical work to improve the technique of Bach's eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann. It represents the culmination of Bach's assimilation of Italian and German styles, merging the sonata and concerto forms. The trio sonatas are considered a pinnacle of Bach's writing for organ and a highlight of the Baroque repertoire for the instrument.
