SPOILER ALERT! I split this episode into TWO! The NEXT episode will cover cantata BWV147 exclusively.

To begin your week! Three pieces you requested were:



Toccata in g minor BWV915



Allabreve in D major BWV589



Cantata BWV147 (NEXT EPISODE!)

Please enjoy my brief analysis of these pieces which, in their own right, could take up many episodes each, and THANK YOU for suggesting I cover them. Please keep your suggestions coming!
