Partita for Violin No. 1 (Bach)


The Partita No. 1 in B minor BWV 1002 by Johann Sebastian Bach, is a piece for solo violin composed by 1720. This partita is formed in the traditional way that consists of an allemande, a courante, sarabande and gigue in the baroque style, except that this work substitutes a bourrée for the more typical gigue. Also, each movement is followed by a variation called double in French, which elaborates on the chords of the prior movement. The movements in order are:
  1. Allemanda – Double
  2. Corrente – Double
  3. Sarabande – Double
  4. Tempo di Borea – Double
