Description
This E-flat major march carries the Anh. designation, marking it among works of debated authorship in Bach's catalog. Even so, its dotted rhythms and clear, march-like melody give it real character. At under two minutes with 782 notes, its relatively dense texture calls for rhythmic precision and clean articulation from advanced players.
Marches defined by their strong, steady rhythm, spanning from Bach's keyboard works to Sousa's popular American marches.
