Bach - Violin Partita no. 1 in B minor BWV 1002 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

Variations are placed explicitly in the foreground in Partita no. 1, performed here by Shunske Sato for All of Bach. It is the only partita in which each dance (each movement) is followed by a Double. These Doubles are not literal replicas, however. Bach continues working with the same harmonic material, but comes up with a different solution – for example with faster notes in the Courante. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 23rd June 2019 at the Lichtfabriek, Haarlem.
