In the trio sonatas of Bach, regardless of the apparatus or number of performers (4, 2 or 1) they were intended for, the noble beauty of the melodic structure, the masterly treatment of the counterpoint, the complementing interplay of the rhythm of the parts and the wealth of harmony all merge to form a perfect unity and as such become the apotheosis of compositions for three parts.
Zoltán Farkas
