J. S. Bach - Suite in E major, I. Preludio, BWV 1006a (1006.2) - Cyprien Katsaris Piano

Based on his Partita #3 for Solo Violin (BWV 1006.1), this piece was arranged by J. S. Bach (1685-1750) for other instruments. It was cataloged as BWV 1006a, but was updated to BWV 1006.2. Wikipedia has the following information on the Preludio for the original Partita: “The Preludio consists almost entirely of semiquavers (i.e. sixteenth notes). The Preludio was also transcribed by Bach for use in two cantatas: the sinfonia which opens the second part of the 1729 cantata Herr Gott, Beherrscher aller Dinge, BWV 120a. the opening sinfonia, scored for obbligato organ, oboes, trumpets and strings, of the 1731 cantata Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29, in D major“ Sources: Sheet Music: ,_BWV_1006a_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian) J.
