These six trio sonatas are undoubtedly among Bach’s absolute masterpieces. Their formal balance and natural melodic lines conceal their purpose very well; Bach wanted to give his young son Wilhelm Friedmann a series of exercises that would allow him to present himself to the musical world as an accomplished organ virtuoso. Ghielmi has specialised in the study and performance of music of this period.
