La banda sonorase nutre de obras de Bach, de dos sonatas de Mendelssohn y un estudio de Ligety,que crean una bóveda arquitectónica bajo la cual transcurre la historia de lapelícula: un paseo por los siglos XVIII, XIX y XXI de la mano de J.S.Bach.
“The Silence before Bach” is an approach to music and the trades and subjectsthat surround it through Bach’s works.A look at the profound dramaturgic relationship between image and music wherethe latter is not merely conceived as subsidiary to the image but as a subjectof the narration in its own right.The film springs from a previously defined musical structure. The soundtrackfeeds on works by J.S Bach and two of Felix Mendelssohn’s sonatas to create anarchitectural vault beneath which the story of the film unfolds ; a promenadethrough the XVIIIth, XIXth and XXIth centuries led by the hand of J.S. Bach.
