Johann Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No.2 (Sheet Music)

The sheet music and performance do not belong to me. This was performed by the Freiburger Barockorchester and can be seen by clicking the link below:

I will be uploading all the Brandenburg Concertos and each will be performed by a different ensemble.

What a great masterpiece this is. My dad always loved the Brandenburg Concertos, so when my uncle (his eldest brother) and I visited him in the hospital, we played Concerto No.1 and this one for him. Though he was very ill and not expected to live much longer, he loved it so much that we played Concerto No.2 for him again. Though it is sad to think about my dad as he passed away just a few days later, this is wonderful music and reminds me of him. All six Concertos are wonderful.

I’m very sorry to hear about your loss, and I’m so happy and grateful that this music has been able to resonate with y’all in such deep and impactful ways. You and your uncle really made the best out of a horridly sad situation, and it’s wonderful that y’all have this memory of your dad :)

That trumpet range is insane.... how can the trumpet player play so high for SO long?

[@amicandaroom]

Practice.

[@reyjay281]

Pretty sure they play something like a piccolo trumpet or a C trumpet

[@somebody9033]

@@reyjay281 they play a piccolo trumpet. However it doesn't make high notes easier it just makes the more reliable to hit on demand

[@gammafoxlore2981]

The recording was done on a natural trumpet...

I never noticed that before. Thank you for pointing it out!

[@neilwalsh3977]

That's one of his best techniques

[@neilwalsh3977]

The more I study the cantatas the more I see almost every movement derives emotionally (in a tangential way) and structurally from the original impulse or motif in the beginning. Brandenburg such a good example - pity the King put them on the shelf!

@@neilwalsh3977 The granular implies the global!

[@neilwalsh3977]

@@geoffstemen3652 Absolutely! That's the hardest part of composition, I find: finding that granular germ for the wider genealogy. I sometimes wonder whether that is why Bach was obsessed with genealogy of the Bach family - it's the same principle

It sounds like they're playing in baroque tuning

[@jr2660]

In which tune is the trumpet?

[@signafortune]

The instrument is in the key of C in the piece. Meaning the that it is probably the F Trumpet.

[@musicalaviator]

@@signafortune Yep, it's scored for Natural (Baroque if you put a few tuning holes) Trumpet in F.
