Bach-Feinberg Trio Sonata no. 5 BWV 529 Largo

on: April 21, 2024, 08:19:45 PM

This would be the most often played and thus most well known Samuil Feinberg's Bach transcriptions. Friday night was my second appearance at Nashville's six hour Bach bash, Bachanalia. Last year, which was my first time playng in the event, I did another Feinberg transcription.

The trio sonata is an organ work. The organ is made for such a dialogue of two equal parts over a moving bass. It truly is a trio. Feinberg's love for Bach, understanding of the piano, and compositional skill make this one of the great transcriptions. It had a haunting effect in that space.

Thanks for listening. Feinberg transcribed a good selection of Bach's organ music, mainly choral preludes, and a couple bigger pieces, the A minor concerto (after Vivaldi) BWV 593; and the prelude and fugue in E minor BWV 548. I think this one movement is the only thing he transcribed from the trio sonatas, but there are some other transcriptions out there. Feinberg was a master though. I did the BWV 548 at last year's Bachanalia (and am learning it again) and it is amazing how much more he was able to get compared to Liszt's version. It's like comparing early versions of the transcendental etudes or Paganini etudes to the "reduced" final versions.

interesting! i knew about the chorale preludes, i have wanted to play An Wasserflüssen Babylon for a while but have never got around to it. maybe i will do so this summer. i did not know about E minor or BWV 548. if tehre is a video of your 548 do post or repost!
