Bach for wind instruments: you're spot on! He was an ORGANIST (and other keyboard and strings). He didn't know about breathing.
@ajmaltaujoo4277

I had the same thought! In the BWV 1005 solo violin sonata, there is a fugue as the 2nd movement, as there is in his other violin sonatas. The fugue plays out in 4 voices all on one violin and then he inverts the theme halfway through the piece and starts a whole new fugue from then on. I played the Fugue from the BWV 1001 solo sonata for a competition in high school and I was in pure misery from all the awkward finger twisty chords and overdone 4-note chords on ONE VIOLIN. I arrived at the thought that yes, four-voice fugues are a piece of cake for Bach ON A KEYBOARD but pure nightmare fuel on the violin.

"He was an ORGANIST ... He didn't know about breathing." Such STUPID nonsense! 1) You don't have to be wind player to understand that wind players have to breathe. 2) Composers routinely write for instruments they don't play. 3) As a boy, Bach received a scholarship to attend the prestigious St. Michael's Latin school -- as a singer. As a singer, he surely knew something about breathing.

Thanks for the f# trick :) I love to play this concerto along with Gerubach's scrolling video, and I frequently missed that high f# note... Sometimes when I went working with collegues (I frequently work on pipe organs), I prefer practising the recorder while the others just drinking a beer. Once, when I was just having fun with my phone (Gerubach scrolling score, this concerto), my semi-drunken collegue came, and just froze hearing I'm able to play that flute part on a recorder :D

A very informative and illuminating video -- thank you for this! In terms of thinking about the large-scale structure and one's role in it at any given moment, I've found the analysis by Malcolm Boyd on pp. 52-57 of his book Bach: The Brandenburg Concertos to be very helpful, especially his form chart on pp. 56-57. I often look at the first movement in my theory and analysis classes, and the Boyd analysis takes a piece that can seem overwhelming and reduces it to a small set of formal techniques that Bach consistently applies (which in no way minimizes the elegance or scope of Bach's achievement, to be clear). I've been known to call out the different events as they go by -- "Fortspinnung! Sequence! Modulation to iii!" -- like a sportscaster, which I hope amuses my students. And I also use that performance by Voices of Music, as it's so virtuosic and sensitive and buoyant.

About Bach not caring about the practicalities of recorder playing (the F#): he is also notorious for not caring about the voice. Singers need to specialise to be able to sing Bach because he often uses the voice as a common instrument (without the limitations that the human voice usually has in comparison) making their parts incredibly ornamented and without any pause for natural, correct breathing. This isn't true for Vivaldi, Handel and Rossini who composed intricate pieces for opera stars and had to know exactly what the singers could sing comfortably because those stars would roast them alive otherwise.

I think it's not uncommon for composers who are themselves KEYBOARD players to be less aware of breathing because, simply, that's not an issue on any keyboard instrument. Also, certain repeated intervalic jumps are easy on the keyboard- because you're going back and forth between- say- the thumb and the 4th or 5th finger. If you attempt this with the voice or on a wind instrument it's really awkward. Would you agree?

@@jeffreydershin5763 On the one hand it is very possible, on the other Bach had tons of experience in composing for several instruments. I don't really know what to think. One thing I know for sure, though. Accompanists, especially those who work with singers, need a lot of specific training even if they are accomplished pianists already. I have a friend who is a perfectly competent but not outstanding solo pianist, but she excels as an accompanist because she has tons of experience and she know as if by instinct how to second us. She knows her job so well that, beside rehearsing roles with professionals singers, she is able to guide the less experienced ones and even teach them the part if needed. With other pianists I need to be constantly on edge because they might do their thing without paying attention while she always keeps an eye on us to compensate for hesitations or mistakes.

Thank you for your fresh way to explain the things. I'm pretty sure that Bach knew exactly the possibilities of the instruments he wrote for. For example he never notated the low c# on the Oboe da caccia because the tone is not playable. With regard to the recorder in BWV 182 there is no f#3 at all in the solo parts and he explicitly wrote a f#2 in the recorder part where the colla parte playing 1st Violin goes to f#3. Voice 1 of the Brandenburg concerto must be an instrument in G. The lowest note is g1 and in voice 2 - which is clearly an F instrument - he avoids the f#3 in the first movement in bar 50 and two other places.

The fact that the same recorder parts in the harpsichord concerto version are in F seems to support the G-alto idea. Also it was composed at Weimar where pitch was A465 (for cantatas) so A465 F-recorders (equals A415 G-altos) with A415 orchestra (pitch at Leipzig where he moved) was perhaps intended. This is a nice theory to explain why the recorder part is unplayable on normal altos except by superstars like Sarah. :) Note Bach is known to have been an excellent singer, and all his vocal works are "difficult, but doable" (Peter Kooij, interview). You can also argue that the fact that all the f#'s (in his entire oeuvre) can be played by slurring from the previous note without resorting to bell hole closing shows Bach's understanding of this fine detail of recorder technique. He could always ask his good friend Telemann who was an excellent recorder player himself.

Does no-one here realise the reason Bach did not allow for breathing? Bach was superhuman. Celestial. He himself did not need to breathe! Apart from which, he was an extremely busy man writing for the church each week, tutoring his pupils and fathering all those children. He didn't have time to draw breath. In 2020 I was planning a trip to Leipzig to follow in Bach's footsteps en route to England to a conference and visit my sisters. I had even booked my place in a recital to be held in the Bach Museum. Well, we all know what happened. I don't envisage being able to go now, for various reasons. But one day, hopefully not too soon, I shall visit Bach in heaven and hear the angels singing his cantatas.

When I saw that "Voices of Music" video a couple of years ago, I thought the two recorders strapped together thing was really extra, and I turned it off about 8 bars into the second movement. Now that I know that the primary source indicates there might be something to that, maybe I'll give them a second chance. Checkout on KZitem the recording with Michela Petri playing recorder 1; both recorderists are playing Mollenhauer modern recorders. This might be my favorite one on KZitem. Recorder/traverso/historical flutes O.G. Michael Lynn also teaches the little cheat fingering for the high F#s in this piece, thank goodness. He's never been particularly pushy about mastering the leg thing. I'm glad, because I have smacked myself in the teeth twice, doing that, so I'm just not doing it anymore. It would be really great to have a modern recorder with a bell key ;-) but the G alto also sounds like a great solution! I gave it a try, and a lot of things are easier when you move the recorder 1 part down a whole step. Nice excuse for getting a G alto!

One thing to note is that G major and E minor are very comfortable keys on the Baroque flute. I’ve practiced the two “flauti” parts both on the recorder and the Baroque flute, and frankly, it feels a little bit more idiomatic on the Baroque flute. I’ve recently heard a Baroque ensemble perform this with Baroque flutes, and it sounded pretty good. I’m not making a hard argument that this was intended for the Baroque flute, but rather that, until evidence is discovered that clarifies what Bach meant for the “flauti d’echo” parts, any combination of instruments that works and sounds good should not be considered unorthodox.

Hello miss Jeffery, have you ever considered F-recorders in Chorton, which would sound like G-recorders in Kammerton? Although not entirely impossible, the high F# is even by your own looks of it not really a smooth solution, is it? However, I own an F baroque alto which can produce the said F# even by attacking it out of the blue, but beautiful it is not really. Personally I prefer and recommend the G-flute option, played in F with nice F-fingerings, which tune also far superior. Cheerio, Willem (professional recorder player)

The reason why only one G recorder (for the first part) is suggested is that the second part actually uses the low F natural (exactly once if memory serves). However, the idea of a pair of matched Chorton recorders is VERY attractive. The low F can be gotten around by looking at how the second part is handled if the F major harpsichord concerto, which makes a couple of octave adjustments to avoid asking for low E flat in the second part. I think it's quite possible that Bach just made a "thinko" in the score of the 4th Brandenburg, which he discovered and corrected (either when copying out the parts or in rehearsal) so that the corrected version is what is preserved (notated a major second lower) in the harpsichord concerto.

435... oof! Not specifically. You could detune it with an app or programme? Cat in the Keys Music do lots of good playalongs with various tunings but it tends to be 415, 440 and 466.

when singing in a choir, Bach have no breathing put in either. It is all up to the conductor to intepret how it should be peformed. We certainly don't sing it as written.

Bach had 13 children. I suspect that he did not know the details of recorder fingerings. The man took shortcuts everywhere and produced loads to keep the fandamily fed.

I love this. As an amateur I love guidance which helps to play the big pieces for Recorder such as Brandenberg #4
