Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Piano
Each one of Bach’s six Partitas features seven great single movements, predominantly in the sequence: Praludium, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, [two free dances], Gigue. These partitas can justifiably be described as Bach’s « ultimate » cycle of suites. As regards the artistic and manual demands, it goes far beyond its « English » and « French » siblings that are also frequently played. It is no coincidence that Bach only had these six partitas printed (1731), and what is known as « Opus 1 ».
