Note 85 — THE PRELUDES AND FUGUES OF J.S. BACH TOCCATAS—FANTASIAS—THE PASSACAGLIA—THE SONATAS
Wallace Goodrich translation
Corelli was born in 1653, and died in 1713. The theme mentioned is found in Joachim's edition of Corelli's works (Denkmäler der Tonkunst, vol. iii. Bergedorf, near Hamburg, 1871). It is the theme of a fugue, the second part of a "church sonata," opus 3; the fugue is marked vivace, and is but thirty-nine measures in length.
