Here’s a movement from a Bach partita for solo violin. But what is a partita? It is simply a suite for solo instrument or voices, usually in several movements. Hey, why should everything have a complex definition?
This particular movement, the third from Bach’s Partita No. 3 for solo violin, is pretty well known, and it could be even more well-known across the universe as the centuries pass: this movement is one of the selections on the Voyager record. Cool, huh?
Here it is played by Hillary Hahn.
