Prélude to Partita No. 3, BWV 1006

from: J.S. Bach - Chamber Music - Music for Violin Solo

The closely related Sinfonia from Cantata 29 was also consulted for this arrangement. Connoisseurs of this music should note the differences—in the solo line of these two relatives, which are the same length—in mm. 17-28, 67-78, 109-10, 112, 118-19, 121, 133-5 and 138. Note that we also offer an arrangement of that Sinfonia in the “Pieces for Alto Recorder and Keyboard” section. Revised June 8, 2020.
