Misc. Comments

Commentary on the movements

Dialogus

  1. Sinfonia. An energetic concertante movement for the organ. This is the final movement of a now-lost concerto, which is the model for BWV 1053 as well. Also, the cantata BWV 169 (Gott soll allein mein Herze haben) utilises the first and second movements.
  2. Aria (Bass): Ich geh' und suche mit Verlangen. For obbligato organ, bass and continuo—a notably virtuosic organ part again.
  3. Recitativo (Soprano, Bass): Mein Mahl ist Zubereit. An operatic-style dialogue which, with the second, contains the bulk of the text of this cantata. Strings accompany.
  4. Aria (Soprano): Ich bin herrlich, ich bin schön. With Oboe d'amore and Violoncello Piccolo. A "masterpiece of Bach's art of Characterization."1
  5. Recitativo (Soprano, Bass): Mein Glaube hat mich selbst so angezogen. Another dramatic duo recitative.
  6. Aria/Chorale (Soprano, Bass): Dich hab ich je und je geliebet. "Among the richest in artistry of all Bach's cantata movements"1. Bach here puts the final duet and choral together into a single cohesive movement.
