The Sonata in D minor (BWV527), with the upper line set around a fourth higher than the second part, brings a poised, melancholy opening theme which sits wonderfully on an oboe: the major-key slow movement is charming in its long-breathed phrases, and the last movement provides plenty of scope for virtuoso playing.

La Sonate en ré mineur (BWV527), dont la ligne supérieure est d’une quarte au-dessus de la deuxième partie, laisse planer sur le thème des premières mesures une certaine mélancolie qui sied à merveille au hautbois. Le phrasé de longue haleine du mouvement lent en tonalité majeure est tout à fait charmant et le dernier mouvement laisse une grande ouverture à la virtuosité de l’interprétation.

Jede einzelne Sonate ist ein Meisterwerk. Die Sonate in d-moll (BWV527), in der die erste Stimme eine Quarte über der zweiten Stimme liegt, hat ein ausgeglichenes, melancholisches Eröffnungsthema, welches wunderbar auf der Oboe liegt. Der langsame Satz in Dur besitzt viel Charme in seinen langen Phrasen, und der dritte Satz gibt viel Raum für Virtuosität.
