J. S. Bach - Orchestral Suite No. 2 (II. Rondeau)
Sheet music for flute
Info: | Second movement (Rondeau) of the Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, scored for strings, continuo, and solo flute. A rondeau in the Baroque refers to any piece that consists of a refrain and different "couplets", which were 8- to 16-measure contrasting strains. The "couplets" might be in related keys, or remain in the original tonic. This form later developed into the rondo, so popular in the time of Mozart. |

The artist: | One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and cannons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways. |
