Song Meaning of “Bach, JS: Sonata for Solo Violin No. 1 in G Minor, BWV 1001: IV. Presto (Arr. For Guitar Solo)” by Johann Sebastian Bach
This powerful composition from Johann Sebastian Bach reflects a dark moment of introspection for its protagonist. Written for solo violin, the piece reflects an individual, isolated in their own sorrows, sorrows that have created a deep inner strife for them. The fiery and intense Presto section conveys the emotion of a rapidly worsening inner turmoil, one that has been building up and flowing through their veins for quite some time.
The music evokes a sense of desperation throughout, as the rapid tempo reflects the intensity and urgency of the inner struggle. The violin’s relentless cadences then plough through and the minor key creates a sinister atmosphere. The music is like a vortex, seemingly engulfing our protagonist and then pushing them in all directions, as the powerful Presto section crescendos to a heart wrenching pinnacle.
The music is almost desperate in its need for resolution, as it searches for something, anything to cling to in the darkness. But our protagonist appears to find no solace, as they finally succumb to their inner strife and are left utterly alone.
