While the best-known solo violin work by Bach is undoubtedly the 'Chaconne' from his second Partita, the first partita is interesting in several ways. It has an unconventional structure with four movements:
- Allemande
- Courante
- Sarabande
- Tempo di Bouree
Each of these is followed by a corresponding 'Double' or variation on the original.
