Brandenburg Concerto No. 4: movement 2

Episode 2 of our miniseries on Brandenburg 4. In this episode: JAZZ? We talk a bit about jazz harmony and how it shares some foundational chord progressions with baroque music.  We also pick apart a couple of measures from this twisty, moody movement, and we put them back together in a couple of different configurations, just like how Bach did it when he composed -- assembling the puzzle pieces to create the finished work, a machine of clockwork precision and beauty. See movement 2 of Brandenburg 4, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society, led by Shunske Sato: https://youtu.be/oSZJ__GIbms?t=401 An article about Dr. Carolyn Bremer, whose advice Alex mentioned in the episode: https://www.presstelegram.com/2018/09/04/cal-state-long-beach-mourns-death-of-prominent-music-professor/
