Product Description

Chaconne in D minor by J. S. Bach

My version of the Chaconne is based around the creative arrangement of one particular person. Since Bach's time, several transcriptions of the work have been made for other instrument. Our focus here on the piano adaption by Ferruccio Busoni in1893.

Bach composed the chaconne sometime between 1718 and 1720. Historians speculate that Bach composed it after returning from a trip and found that his wife (and the mother of seven of his children) Maria Barbara had died. There is some research that backs this up, Silbiger (1999) and Thoene (2003), for example.

I think we can say that this piece is a lament on an ostinato bass. Yehudi Menuhin called the Chaconne "the greatest structure for solo violin that exists". Joshua Bell has said the Chaconne is "not just one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, but one of the greatest achievements of any man in history. It's a spiritually powerful piece, emotionally powerful, structurally perfect."

Thoene, Helga (1684-1720). Helga: C I A C C O N A Tanz oder Tombeau?. Dr. Ziethen Verlag, Oschersleben 2003.

Note that, According to Silbiger, Thoene bases herself on numerological speculations, and to make her argument stronger, she writes that Bach included phrases from sacred works such as BWV4 Christ Lag in Todesbanden in the Chaconne (Silbiger, 1999).
