The music. ========== J. S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no 1 was originally written for a chamber ensemble consisting of strings, two french horns and three oboes. A general principle in this arrangement for recorders of the 3. movement was to assign solo passages to all recorder parts. Therefore, apart from the basso bart, the parts of J. S. Bach's original score have not just been moved to one of the recorders. In some cases a solo phrase has even been split up between more recorder parts, for example has measure 5-7 of the first violin and the first oboe which in the recorder arrangement been split into three separate measures played by descant recorder 1, descant recorder 2 and treble recorder 1. As said above the bass recorder is the only exception from that principle. The only differeneces from the original part are some octaved up notes or sequences of notes forced by the ambitus of the f bass recorder. The left hand part of the basso continuo part has been copied directly from the original score while the harpsichord realization of the continuo has been made by the arrangers. All slurs have been transfered unchanged from the original score to the arrangement including those spanning 3 repeated 8'th on the same tone. These slurs are not identical to ties. Bach has applied them not only on the string parts - in which case they could be seen as bowing directions - but also on the horns and oboes. The arrangers suggest that they be performed non legato on the recorders. The sources files. ================== In case you want to process the M-Tx and TeX source files yourself you'll want version 2.07 or greater of pmx. The generation of the score and the separate parts is straight forward: just run prepmx on the mtx source file, pmx on the resulting pmx file and musixtex on the tex files resulting from pmx. To produce the separate parts run scor2prt on the pmx source file of the score. You should then process all the pmx files (except brand132.pmx) resulting from scor2prt.
