about

( From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

The Partita in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004) by Johann Sebastian Bach was written between 1717 and 1720.
The partita contains five movements, given in Italian as:

Allemanda
Corrente
Sarabanda
Giga
Ciaccona

These movements are more frequently listed by their French names: Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Gigue, and Chaconne.

Professor Helga Thoene suggests that this partita, and especially its last movement, was a tombeau written in memory of Bach's first wife, Maria Barbara Bach (who died in 1720), though this theory is controversial.

The Chaconne :

Yehudi Menuhin called the Chaconne "the greatest structure for solo violin that exists".
Violinist Joshua Bell has said the Chaconne is "not just one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, but one of the greatest achievements of any man in history. It's a spiritually powerful piece, emotionally powerful, structurally perfect."
He played the piece busking in L'Enfant Plaza for The Washington Post.
