Published by jmsgu3 (A0.529287).BACH: Partita No. 6 BWV 830 Contents: Toccata, Allemande, Courante, Air, Sarabande, Gavotta, Gigue. The Partita No. 6 is the last and most complex of Bach's six partitas published as part of his Clavier-Übung I. It is considered Bach's "greatest suite" and "the crowning work of the set," featuring some of the most dramatic and ambitious writing in his keyboard repertoire. The partita consists of seven movements, all in the key of E minor. It opens with a lengthy and virtuosic toccata-like movement, followed by an allemande, corrente, sarabande, tempo di gavotta, gigue, and an air. The sarabande movement is renowned, described as a "pure lamento" and "perhaps the most intensely expressive piece in all of Bach's works for harpsichord." The final gigue movement returns to the "very origins of the French suite itself" with an archaic yet modern style. Overall, Partita No. 6 is the pinnacle of Bach's keyboard suite compositions, showcasing his mastery of counterpoint, virtuosity, and emotional expression.
