Generations of musicians across the centuries have marvelled at the ability of Bach’s musical expression to transcend the genres and settings for which it was originally written. Bach himself frequently repurposed his compositions, transcribing instrumental concertos for the keyboard, adapting choral compositions to a new text, and even transforming vocal music into instrumental music. Many of the works performed in this short program were originally written for different instruments.
