Bwv 591 — Little Harmonic Labyrinth (kleines Harmonisches Labyrinth)


Peter Clark

Recommended Posts

Which website Peter? Daniel Moult played this piece in a recital at my church last year, alongside the D major P & F BWV532 and Trio Sonata No.6. It's a curious little piece, which does exactly what it says on the tin. After starting in C major, it gets into some pretty far-flung keys and manages to find its way home to C major again. Peter Williams describes it as "ouverture, lost direction, entry into labyrinth, discovery of C major, "exit beneath the sun of clear harmony" (Keller).

In the (very welcome!) Widor link posted by John Sayer, I had a shop around this website and camew accross this piece, possibly by Bach, possibly not. It is the first time I have seen it; has anybody get any more information on it?

Thanks for reminding me of this piece and how to get it, Peter. I use to play it years ago but lost the Peters volume. Worked well as a relatively subdued voluntary this morning.
