Description
The loure movement of BWV 1006a is a stately, slow-paced French dance. Its characteristic 6/4 lilt carries a dignified weight that preserves the solemn atmosphere of the original violin partita on the keyboard. Playing each note with care, without rushing, is essential to bringing out the dance's distinctive character.
