Ce projet, intitulé Berlin Sonatas, est l’occasion de présenter des sonates de J.C.F. Bach, CF. Abel, et C.H. Graun et de mettre en lumière le langage de la sensibilité (Empfindsamkeit): une expression de tristesse, de colère, de furie, de joie, d’amour et de louange. Cette musique présente des émotions à la fois fugaces et instantanées et souligne avec ardeur la beauté de la ligne mélodique.
The royal courts of mid-eighteenth century Berlin were lively crossroads for some of the greatest musicians of the time. Court musicians and visitors were famous virtuosos performing music full of expressivity and fantasy. In Berlin Sonatas, the sonatas of J.C.F. Bach, C.F. Abel, and C.H. Graun each demonstrate the language of Sensibility (Empfindsamkeit): an expression of sadness, anger, wrath, joy, love, and praise. In their music, emotions are fleeting and instantaneous and, above all, the beauty of melody is emphasized. In Berlin in particular (where several court musicians were students of J.S. Bach), sonatas for cello seem liberated, natural, and comprehensible when played on a instrument fit with a fifth string. The five-string cello also allows for the performance of violin caprices by Franz Benda. The works of Berlin Sonatas achieve a great quality of expression of the kind that helped make Berlin composers famous, especially for their rapturous Adagios and tuneful Allegros, each leaving ample space for the performer’s creativity.
