"Adagio" BWV1001

Johann Sebastian Bach's famous book “Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin” opens with a great and striking, yet deep and meditative piece. A melancholy song crosses all the registers of the violin with a melodious improvisation, enriched by vertical chords that follow the rhythm of human emotions in a continuum of tension and relaxation. This piece, the result of a brilliant mind, presents different levels of reading and lends itself to countless interpretations, even conflicting ones. For me it is a spiritual song towards one's soul, it is a journey into the knowledge of one's suffering and towards consolation and leads to a connection with one's most intimate dimension.
