From 1739 onward, the publication of the Clavier-Übung III, that imposing corpus essentially focused on the Art of the Chorale heightened to the furthest-developed and most consummate potentiality of the genre, marked a decisive turning point and a change of perspective in Johann Sebastian Bach’s creative process. His music for organ, gradually unmoored from the sole liturgical functionality, henceforth responds more to an inner necessity and within a most perfect balance conjugates ars and scientia. This programme offers an immersion into the heart of these ten last years in the life of Bach that Gilles Cantagrel so appropriately calls the testamentary decade.
