Since the court of Anhalt-Cƶthen was Calvinist, Church music was limited to congregational psalms and hymns. Bachās work during this period consisted of writing chamber music for the Prince, who was an accomplished violinist, gambist and harpsichordist. Other works from this period include the Cello Suites, the viola da gamba sonatas, the Flute sonatas and the partita for solo flute and the Orchestral Suites. The Sonata presented here is in the four movement āChurch Sonataā style. The first five sonatas all share the same principal of Slow-Fast-Slow-Fast with a generally unified three-voice āTrio Sonataā texture. Passages which include double stops have been arranged as grace notes, which should be performed rapidly, but with a sensitivity to creating the necessary resonance which suggest implied chords.
