For Bach, dance forms had much symbolism outside their measure or meter; for example, the Aria ‘Erbarme Dich’ from the
St. Matthew Passion
is based on a pastoral siciliano and the final chorus from the
St. John Passion
on a sarabande. The siciliano from the
Flute Sonata No. 2 in E flat major
( BWV 1031) is a softly lilting and deeply meditative pastorale. Its inspiration seems entirely that of the master, though other movements from the same sonata have been alternatively attributed.
