Today we bring you an Interpretations of Music: Lessons for Life Class on the Adagio from Bach's Sonata No. 1 for Solo Violin, exquisitely performed by Léo Marillier.

Maestro Zander explains the harmonic structure of the movement and coaches: "Our job as performers is to find out what the journey of the piece is...Music is a journey through harmony...It's a journey in space, but it's aural space." We think you'll agree with Maestro Zander that Léo brings amazing freedom and imagination to this performance.

 

We send our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. Happy listening!
