Minnesota Varsity: Anna Tessman

Anna Tessman

Instrument: Violin

Hometown: Edina, Minn.

Piece: J. S. Bach — Violin Sonata No.1 in G minor, BWV 1001, I. Adagio

Why did you choose this piece?

With dissonant chords and soulful feeling, I chose the adagio movement of Bach's First Sonata for its uniqueness. No piece sounds the same with clashing chords and a fulfillment when played. This piece is challenging and joyful to play, giving every musician a chance to interpret their own way.
