SKU: HU.HN28

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Rudolf Steglich. Piano Solo, Piano & Keyboard, Repertoire, Solos. Six Partitas BWV 825-830. Baroque, Classical. Softcover Book. 124 pages. G. Henle #HN28. Published by G. Henle (HU.HN28).

310x235x9 inches.

Each one of Bachs six Partitas features seven great single movements, predominantly in the sequence: Praludium Allemande Courante Sarabande [two free dances] Gigue. These partitas can justifiably be described as Bachs ultimate cycle of suites. As regards the artistic and manual demands, it goes far beyond its English (HN 100) and French (HN71) 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.
