MORE ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
The influence of the 17th-century instrumental stylus fantasticus can be heard in numerous works of J.S. Bach. Andrew Fouts and Leon Schelhase present a special program that highlights this fantastic tradition. We’ll hear path-breaking works by Bach’s virtuosic German predecessors—Dietrich Buxtehude, Johan Paul von Westhoff, Johann Jakob Walther, and Heinrich Biber—but you especially won’t want to miss Bach’s brilliant Sonata for Violin and Harpsichord in E Major, BWV 1016.
Andrew Fouts, violin
Leon Schelhase, harpsichord
