From Partita No. 2 for Solo Violin in D minor, BWV1004. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Yasuhide Ito. Classics. Ito Music. Score. Bravo Music #NAS-BS429A. Published by Bravo Music (BZ.NAS-BS429A).Originally a piece for the solo violin, Ferruccio Busoni has arranged this piece for the piano, so well it fully utilizes the piano's characteristics and seems like a composition of his own.
As for my arrangement though, I sought sounds unique only to the wind band instead, sounds unattainable with a piano or an orchestra. It might be interesting to relate this rendition to its original form, an ancient Spanish dance, rather than to the original composition by Bach, which features the solo violin. The rich sound, sometimes comparable to an organ's, and the variety of tone colors produced by the wind band, are some aspects to look out for through this arrangement.
The chaconne starts with a beautiful harmony featuring three trombones, having been inspired by a friend's suggestion. Although this arrangement is abbreviated to about half the length of the original, I retained, however, the balance of the three sections, D minor?D major?D minor, in the golden ratio, similar to the original.
