Summary of This Score
First Part of the Clavier Ăbung gathers the six Partitas by J. S. Bach (BWV 825 to 830), true "suites" of dances where contrapuntal rigor, rhythmic elegance, and harmonic imagination meet. This edition emphasizes playability through fingerings, while maintaining the demands of an Urtext reading, ideal for stylistic work on both piano and harpsichord.
The volume offers a complete editorial apparatus: a preface and notes dedicated to fingerings ("Preface / Notes on Fingering" and "Vorwort / Anmerkung zu den FingersÀtzen"), followed by detailed annotations to the musical text ("Annotations to the music text / Anmerkungen zum Notentext"). You thus have concrete markers to approach the typical difficulties of the Partitas: texture alternation, hand independence, voice clarity, ornament management, and balance between dance and discourse.
A major asset of this publication lies in its facsimiles, including notably pages from period printings (1726, 1727, 1731), an ornament table in Bach's handwriting, as well as emblematic excerpts (for example a Sarabande and the opening of a Partita). These documents provide valuable insight into notation, ornamentation practices, and the aesthetics of the time, particularly useful for those wishing to align their interpretation with the sources.
Finally, the appendices complement the musical study with ornamented versions and variants (Sarabande, Minuet, Sinfonia, Courante, Gigue...), allowing comparison of readings from different sources. An excellent choice for the advanced student, teacher, or performer who wants to work on Bach with a reference score that is solid and pedagogically exploitable on a daily basis.
