Bach's Solo Sonata for Violin No. 3 in C, which is part of my upcoming D.Mus. recital program. My interpretation is based on the idea of a lullaby, as suggested by my supervisor, Guillaume Tardif. However, to me, this lullaby is tragic, since by the year the Solo Violin Sonatas and Partitas were written (1720), Bach had already lost three babies: two twins within one month of their birth (a boy and a girl), and one 10-month-old, Leopold Augustus, who had just died in Sept. 1719. The rising melismatic line starting at 2:18 evokes the climbing figure in \"Jesu, deine Gnadenblicke,\" from Bach's Ascension Oratorio, where the soprano's voice represents a soul ascending to Heaven. The tender motives of this Largo encircle and swaddle right from the opening, but they lead to the loss of the small soul at 2:18, followed by a few pangs of poignant dissonance, before the bitter-sweet resolution of salvation. This movement, considered exquisitely beautiful, opens a window into an experience that was very common in Bach's time: the pain of losing small children.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eViolin\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Process\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eI recorded with a Sennheiser microphone onto Logic Pro, and applied a few sound design and mastering presets.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons licence, Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0): see \u003ca href=\"creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\"\u003ecreativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\u003c/a\u003e.
