Bach - Preludium et partita del tuono terzo BWV 833 - Van Delft | Netherlands Bach Society

The ’Preludium et partita del tuono terzo’, performed by Menno van Delft for All of Bach, has been preserved in a manuscript compiled by Johann Christoph containing harpsichord suites by Nicolas Lebègue, copied from his ’Les pieces de clavessin’ (Paris: 1677). The manuscript also contains an explanation about how to play various ornaments, copied from the ’Six suites de clavessin’ by Charles Dieupart, a French keyboard player who worked in England. BWV 833 exudes the seventeenth-century French style of Lebègue. The Prelude and Courante, in particular, are richly ornamented. Bach’s suite thus forms a perfect combination with Lebègue’s suites and Dieupart’s explanation. Recorded for the project All of Bach on May 22nd 2020 at the art museum Mauritshuis, The Hague.
