Farewell Sonata Number 1

I am saying goodbye to the Sonata Number 1 in G-minor. The final G-minor chord, GDB-flatG, brought me back to the beginning of the sonata. It's a revolution.

Partita Number 1, coming up tomorrow, is also in a minor key: B-minor. It has eight movements, four different dances and four doubles, one per dance. It will be a two-month sonata, in that case. I like the way it makes dissonant chords, such as EF#, sound beautiful (provided they are in tune). More tomorrow...
