This trio sonata – recorded here for All of Bach with Leo van Doeselaar – is the fourth trio sonata for organ that Bach wrote. Generally speaking, a trio sonata is a piece for two melody instruments and basso continuo. Bach the organist often thought in keyboard logic, and so he wrote trio sonatas for just one instrument: the organ. The two solo instruments were played by his hands (on two different manuals), and the bass by his feet. This fourth trio sonata is a compilation of earlier pieces that did not belong together, but which Bach carefully combined.
