The radiant joy that flows from Bach's instrumental music is often synonymous with light. Thus from the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major BWV 1048, for three violins, three violas and three cellos on the support of the continuo. His only two known movements, in the clear key of G major and in the same allegro movement, are carried away in the lively movement of very lively dances. From this exhilaration of string instruments with unrestrained speech that does not seem to take breath, will we not say that it is radiant?
That is to say in the strict sense that it emits very bright light rays.
Much more than dances, these two movements appear like the intense manifestation of the whole body stretched towards the light which floods and animates them.
Saburo Teshigawara, one of the greatest dancers and choreographers of his generation, examines Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 using the theme of light, accompanied by his partner Rihoko Sato.
