June 17 Information
The Wikipedia article on Stravinsky's Concerto in E-flat, "Dumbarton Oakes," mentions that it was influenced by Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. Is it known which of the Brandenburgs in particular? Thank you. 131.191.95.201 ( talk) 21:12, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- "A little concerto in the style of the Brandenburg Concertos," was how Stravinsky put it, adding, "I played Bach very regularly during the composition of the concerto, and I was greatly attracted to the Brandenburg Concertos. Whether or not the first theme of my first movement is a conscious borrowing from the third of the Brandenburg set, however, I do not know. What I can say is that Bach would most certainly have been delighted to loan it to me; to borrow in this way was exactly the sort of thing he liked to do."
