Partita no. 3, performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, is not a stand-alone piece. Bach was clearly delighted with this partita, and particularly with the first movement. In 1729, Bach arranged this Preludio as an instrumental movement of a wedding cantata (BWV 120a) and as a festive overture at the start of the cantata BWV 29. Furthermore Bach himself copied a version of the whole partita on two staves, which could be a simple keyboard piece, or maybe a suite for lute or theorbo.
Recorded for the project All of Bach 24th June 2019 at the Lichtfabriek, Haarlem. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel
