Music by J.S. Bach

Partita No. 1 in B flat major 1726 BWV 825
Partita No. 2 in C minor 1727 BWV 826
Partita No. 4 in D major 1728 BWV 828





Collectively published as Clavier-Übung Vol. I in 1731, the Partitas present traditional Baroque dances and illustrate Bach's command of tonal architecture against galant ornamentation. This event is a rare opportunity to hear three complete Bach partitas in one recital.

Performed by:

Carsten Schmidt harpsichord

Schmidt will perform using a double manual harpsichord modeled after a 1769 French design by Pascal Taskin.
