Sarah Best plays Concerto in G major (Ist movement) Prinz Johann von Ernst <\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>I am a free-lance organist from North London, and a long-standing member of the Society. I  am also an accompanist for the London Transport Choir.<\/p>\n

This transcription of a Violin Concerto in G was originally attributed to JS Bach, but was later found to be by Prince Johann Ernst of Sachsen Weimar.<\/p>\n

He sadly died aged only 18 from a leg infection, in spite of this, he left a significant number of compositions.<\/p>\n

Bach\u2019s arrangement makes use of a double pedal part, and is written in two contrasting voices.<\/p>\n

You can hear the recording  by clicking here<\/a><\/strong> . It lasts just under 5 minutes and was made at the Penge Congregational Church<\/a> <\/strong>in Februry 2017.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
