The Partita No. 1 in B minor BWV 1002 by Johann Sebastian Bach, is a composition for solo violin composed by 1720.
This partita is formed in the traditional way that consists of an allemande, a courante, sarabande and gigue in the baroque style, except that this work substitutes a bourrée (marked Tempo di Borea) for the more typical gigue. Also, each movement is followed by a variation called double in French, which elaborates on the chords of the prior movement. The movements in order are:
Allemanda – Double
Corrente – Double (Presto)
Sarabande – Double
Tempo di Borea – Double
Here is Hilary Hahn to perform this Sarabande for you:
