Six Partitas, BWV 825-830 (with fingering)

Editor: Rudolf Steglich
Fingering: Hans-Martin Theopold

Each one of Bach’s six Partitas features seven great single movements, predominantly in the sequence: Präludium – 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” (HN 100) and “French” (HN 71) siblings that are also frequently played. It is no coincidence that Bach only had these six partitas printed (1731), and what is more as “Opus 1”.

Partita 1 B-dur BWV 825
Partita 2 c-moll BWV 826
Partita 3 a-moll BWV 827
Partita 4 D-dur BWV 828
Partita 5 G-dur BWV 829
Partita 6 e-moll BWV 830
