Curtis enjoys a long tradition of distinguished and active performers serving on the faculty, and Midori’s work to bring music to underserved communities fits so well with our thriving community engagement program at Curtis. I’m sure that all our students – not just violinists – will have an opportunity to benefit from her presence here.” In addition to the preeminent musical education offered at Curtis, the school’s emphasis on community engagement was a key element in Midori’s decision to relocate to Philadelphia.

Valentina Guillen Menesello • April 9, 2017 PROGRAM NOTES Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Violin Sonata No. 3 in C Major, BWV 1005 Duration: 9 minutes J.S Bach completed the set of partitas and sonatas for violin solo in 1720, a period during which he also produced other secular music like the six suites for unaccompanied cello and the Brandenburg concertos. At this time he was serving in the court of Prince Leopold, in Cöthen. The Sonata follows the form of church sonata (sonata da chiesa), slow-fast-slow-fast. The Largo is the third movement of Sonata n.3, a very pastoral, powerful and reflective movement. The solo voice is supported by a “plucked” bass line, and in some instances creates a conversational relationship.The Allegro Assai has a two and three voice texture at a dazzling speed, and is very cheerful and full of life.
