Episode 2 of our miniseries on Brandenburg 4.
In this episode: JAZZ? We talk a bit about jazz harmony and how it shares some foundational chord progressions with baroque music. We also pick apart a couple of measures from this twisty, moody movement, and we put them back together in a couple of different configurations, just like how Bach did it when he composed -- assembling the puzzle pieces to create the finished work, a machine of clockwork precision and beauty.
See movement 2 of Brandenburg 4, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society, led by Shunske Sato:
