What would happen if Bach had lived in the time of rock and roll? This piece might have been the result! There is plenty of musical depth to this piece and yet it is in both a baroque and rock style at the same time. There is even an opportunity for some improvisation.
This hard driving rock piece embraces sounds from the Baroque era offering a fusion that might be defined as Bach Rock. The piece begins with a mini-cadenza lament for solo violin. The soloist may embellish the written part with mordents, trills, or other ornaments. In m. 9, the drums kick in with a hard-rock groove. Exaggerate the dynamic markings throughout to ensure that moving parts will be heard.
