AN EXAMINATION ON BACH’S BWV 1004 CHACONNE FOR VIOLIN INTERPRETATION

Year 2016, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 45 - 68, 15.12.2016

Abstract

The last movement of the Partita in D minor BWV 1004, called ‘Chaconne’, which

was one of J.S.Bach’s sonatas for a solo violin, had a revolutionary impact at the time

it was composed, and it has still been performed quite often at the present time. It was

composed in 1720. Chaconne, composed of interconnected variations, has a

separate narrative language in each variation. From the Baroque period onwards,

many composers and performers influenced by Chaconne, interpret the Chaconne in

different styles and made arrangements for some other instruments. Chaconne, a 3/4

dance, has participated in the polyphonic music culture of Europe in the 16th century

and is thought to originate from South America. Over the years, Chaconne has reached

the culmination of development in the 18th century by spreading to other

instruments. Changes were not only for Chaconne but also for instruments of that

period. Baroque violin and bow were used when Bach’s Chaconne was composed.

Although there was no visual difference between baroque and modern violin, the

baroque violin had many differences in terms of technic and sound. These differences

and the structure of baroque music now lead Chaconne to listen to different

interpretations. In this article, the changes in the chaconne and violin in time, effects

of these changes on the modern performances of Chaconne and works to be done

for Chaconne via interpretation and technique are discussed.

BACH’IN BWV 1004 CHACONNE İSİMLİ ESERİNİN KEMAN YORUMUNA DAYALI İNCELEMESİ

Year 2016, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 45 - 68, 15.12.2016

Abstract

J.S. Bach’ın solo keman için yazdığı sonatlardan BWV 1004 Re minör Partita’nın son
bölümü olan Chaconne, bestelendiği dönemde fark yaratmış ve günümüze değin sıkça
icra edilmiştir. Eser, 1720 yılında tamamlanmıştır. Birbirine bağlanan varyasyonlardan
oluşan Chaconne, her bir varyasyonda ayrı bir anlatım diline sahiptir. Barok dönemden
itibaren Chaconne’dan etkilenen birçok besteci ve müzisyen, eseri farklı stillerde
yorumlamış ve başka enstrümanlar için düzenlemeler yapmıştır. 3/4’lük bir dans olan
Chaconne, Avrupa’nın çoksesli müzik kültürüne 16. yüzyılda katılmıştır ve
kaynaklarının Güney Amerika’dan geldiği düşünülmektedir. Chaconne, yıllar içinde
enstrümanlara yayılarak 18. yüzyıl’da gelişiminin doruk noktasına ulaşmıştır. Değişim
sadece Chaconne için değil, o dönemin enstrümanları için de geçerlidir. J.S. Bach
Chaconne’u bestelediği dönemde barok keman ve yay kullanılmaktaydı. Görsel açıdan
aralarında büyük fark görünmese de barok keman, modern kemandan teknik ve tınısal
açıdan birçok farklılıklara sahipti. Bu farklılıklar ve barok müziğin yapısı, günümüzde
Chaconne’u farklı yorumlarla dinlememize yol açmaktadır. Bu makalede
Chaconne’un ve kemanın zaman içinde geçirdiği değişimlerden, bu değişimlerin
günümüzde yorumlanan Chaconne üzerindeki etkilerinden, teknik ve yoruma
dayalı çalışma stillerinden bahsedilecektir.
