Beschreibung
I first came across the Partita by Johann Sebastian Bach in a version for
flute and strings, beautifully recorded by Kurt Redel. Since my early teens
it has been on my list of special pieces. The four movements show
extraordinary variation. In the hands of Bach, the key of C minor becomes
particularly powerful, of limitless weight, sometimes even stern. Is there an
opening of a movement from the baroque era which compares with power of the
first movement here? It is a magni-ficent example of musical temperament.
Three 18th century manuscripts survive. One found among the papers of
C.Ph.E.Bach and two by Johann Philipp Kirnberger, a student of J.S.Bach. All
three are in the form of a keyboard sonata. Because of the choice of
register, however, one may ask whether they are, in turn, arrangements of an
original composition for solo flute or solo violin. The Double is very
pianistic, and may therefore have been added later. For all movements except
the Fugue, I have supplied a piano part for the right hand.
