Sarabanda con Partite
BWV 990
The Sarabanda con Partite (Sarabande with variations), attributed in the sources to Johann Sebastian Bach, presents the interesting and not too often encountered linking of a variation sequence and a suite. A harmonic bass pattern is developed over a succession of twelve variations and four dance movements. This new edition once again makes accessible a work which in all probability was composed in the 18 th century, and in so doing draws upon newly discovered sources. This rendering of the Sarabanda con Partite can be performed on all historical and modern keyboard instruments; it is especially suited for the harpsichord, the clavichord or the organ.
