Johann Sebastian Bach composed nine contrapuntal variations (BWV1079) in 1747. The work was composed based on a theme given to him by Frederick the Great when he visited the Potsdam Palace, and was dedicated to him with a dedication. The music makes full use of traditional contrapuntal techniques, and is a representative work of Bach's later years, when he had turned his back on the trends of the times. In particular, "Ricercare for Six Voices" is highly regarded as the pinnacle of contrapuntal music.

ヨハン・セバスチャン・バッハが1747年に作曲した9曲からなる対位法的変奏曲(BWV1079)。ポツダムの宮殿を訪れた際にフリードリヒ大王から与えられたテーマをもとに作曲、献辞を添えて大王に献呈された。伝統的な対位法の技法を存分に駆使した音楽で、時代の流れに背を向けてしまった晩年のバッハの代表作であり、とくに「六声のリチェルカーレ」は対位法音楽の最高峰と高く評価されている。 [三宅幸夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
