Bach - Partita in E minor BWV 830 - Ares | Netherlands Bach Society

The Partita BWV 830, performed for All of Bach by harpsichordist Diego Ares, is the last of six in the Clavier-Übung I and is remarkable for its gravity. Bach begins with a long toccata in several parts, which is reminiscent of Buxtehude – the music of his youth. Further on in the work, too, Bach often chooses for complicated musical structures. The music is no longer very dancy. However, Bach combines French, German and Italian influences in exemplary fashion, creating a homogenous style, in which justice is done to every note. Well worthy of a testament.
