The term terraced dynamics means that there are no crescendos or diminuendos, just loud or quiet playing.Classical Sheet Music.

The harpsichord plays the subject in bar 9.Ĭomposers in the Baroque period generally did not write dynamics into the score, leaving the louds and softs to the performer.

The flute begins in bar 3, playing the subject five notes higher, and then the countersubject.

The violin plays the subject in bars 1 and 2, and then the countersubject.

This creates a complex texture of independent moving parts known as counterpoint. In a fugue a melody starts the piece (the subject), which is then repeated at different pitches and imitated by different instruments throughout the work. The third movement employs a fugue structure and texture. The triplet quavers are groups of three notes, creating a sense of 123, 456 rhythm against the written 2/4 time signature. In bar 110 the harpsichord plays triplet quavers, which are three quavers played in the space of two quavers. Bach creates a gigue-like feel by writing continuous triplet quavers. The third movement has a simple 2/4 time signature. The continuo part is played on the cembalo (harpsichord).

The ripieno is a string ensemble, violino (violin), viola, violoncello (cello) and contrabasso (double bass). In this work the soloists are flauto (flute) and violino (violin) and sometimes the cembalo (harpsichord). Overall there are three main groups of instruments - the concertino, the ripieno and the continuo. This means that the work uses groups of solo instruments - the concertino - rather than a single soloist. The overall structure of the third movement consists of three main sections, known as ternary form :īrandenburg Concerto No.5 in D Major, third movement, is in concerto grosso form.
