Description
This expanded new edition takes into consideration not only the revised main text of the “six partitas” but also, for the first time evaluates printed copies known to have been used by Bach and his closest circle and copies made by his circle of pupils. These include annotations on ornamentation and valuable hints on performance practice which are invaluable for present-day musicians. The editor is the British musicologist Richard Douglas Jones, well-known for his numerous discoveries and publications on Bach.
