A work that features much imitation and chromaticism found in the music collection known as the Anna Magdalena Notebook. Although often attributed to J.S. Bach the composer of this work is unknown. Music in Bach’s time was usually hand copied and identities of composers were often lost in the process. The work, intended to be played on a keyboard, in Bach’s own day, is very suited to being played by other combinations of instruments. The version for two trombones has been prepared without ornaments and repeats are not in place in either the realisation or accompaniments. Players should be aiming for a singing legato in their playing. Accompaniments are in place enabling both trombone 1 and trombone 2 players to enjoy ensemble practice as part of playing routines. They playback at 112, 116 and 120 beats per minute. A minor was the original key for the movement which has been transposed into G minor. The Trombone 1 part sounds an octave lower than originally intended and there a few octave transposition in the trombone 2 part.
