Description
This gigue closes BWV 1006a, an arrangement of the Partita No. 3 for solo violin. Its lively compound-meter rhythm brings the suite to a brisk, buoyant conclusion. The rapid violin passages have been reworked for keyboard, and dividing the bouncing figures between the two hands is a key technical consideration in performance.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
