Bach - Pastorella in F major BWV 590 - Smits | Netherlands Bach Society

This Pastorella in F major – recorded here for All of Bach with Reitze Smits – refers to Italy, to ‘sheperds’ music and with that to Christmas. But it also has parts separate from these themes. A work that is hard to place in one corner, but who cares after hearing the exuberant three-part invention Bach presents us with at the end.
