It's a Tierce de Picardie.... It was very common in Bach's time... He used a major chord of the tonic at the end. He also used that a lot in the WTC where he raises the third of the minor triad by a semitone to create a major triad, as a form of resolution.

Okay. I didn't know enough theory to know that. I made sense of it as best I knew how. Thank you

Philip Leduhovsky

i have just realized this haha

Edward Thornbury

Since the Renaissance, there's been a preference for a major chord as more stable. Ending a minor piece with a major sonority is the normal thing to do into the Baroque era (in fact, ending with a minor chord almost sounds wrong). The raised third is called a "picardy third".

Edward Thornbury

Not a deceptive cadence. A picardy third.

Jamal S.

Bach ends on the I chord instead of the i chord in minor keys to act as a deceptive cadence. It isn't an authentic cadence because he isn't done. If you look at the Well Tempered Clavier, he does it a with most, if not all, of the pieces in minor keys.

And the last note the the viola plays is the f# but it should be f natural because this is d minor

There is one mistake that the performer for violin I made. After the cellos g minor theme the first violins play a g minor harmonic scale. But they should be playing the melodic scale!
