The six Trio Sonatas for organ (BWV 525-530) were written as pedagogical works for Bach's eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann. They represent some of the most sophisticated examples of trio sonata form adapted for a single performer, requiring independent coordination of two manuals and pedals.

Part of Bach's six trio sonatas for organ (BWV 525–530), composed as pedagogical works for his son Wilhelm Friedemann. Combines Italian concerto style with German counterpoint.

Composed in 1730, this trio sonata is a landmark in Bach's Leipzig output, blending chamber music intricacy with organ virtuosity. Its three-movement structure and contrapuntal rigor reflect both pedagogical intent and innovative reimagining of the trio sonata genre for a single performer.
