Six Partitas for Harpsichord

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Huguette Dreyfus

Six Partitas for Harpsichord is a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, published as Clavier-Übung I in 1731. They are Baroque keyboard suites that draw on dance forms and contrapuntal textures, with ornamented melodic lines, clear harmonic progressions and technically demanding keyboard figurations, and are Bach's major published collection of keyboard music from the early 1730s.
