A. Corelli – Sonate da Chiesa Op.3 – No.4 in B Minor

A masterpiece whose delicate, graceful melodies resonate in the heart.

The exquisite interplay between two violins and basso continuo brings out the full allure of Baroque music.

The B minor tonality evokes a poignant melancholy, set against a striking contrast of rhythmic development.

The theme of the second movement is also known for having been later quoted by Bach in an organ work.

Its church sonata style, which summons a quiet emotional depth, is recommended when you want to feel calm.

A must-listen for those who want to savor the essence of Baroque music or are interested in the history of classical music.
