Bach - Violin Partita no. 3 in E major BWV 1006 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

Partita no. 3, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, is not a stand-alone piece. Bach was clearly delighted with this partita, and particularly with the first movement. In 1729, Bach arranged this Preludio as an instrumental movement of a wedding cantata (BWV 120a) and as a festive overture at the start of the cantata BWV 29. Furthermore Bach himself copied a version of the whole partita on two staves, which could be a simple keyboard piece, or maybe a suite for lute or theorbo. Recorded for the project All of Bach 24th June 2019 at the Lichtfabriek, Haarlem.
