Kreutzer wrote a series of etudes entitled 42 études ou caprices for violin in the late 1700s.
This beautiful etude is in C major. And a great piece to study for guitarists, violinists, violists, piano players and whomever else that may be interested in practicing scales in a musical way!
Here’s the sheet music for the D minor Gigue, Partita II, JS Bach, Solo Violin BMV 1004.
I love to play this piece. It’s fun to play and I think a lot of guitarists would enjoy and learn a lot by playing it, whatever genres of music that they usually tend to play.
I added a little bit of analysis towards the end, Bach has so many different cool ways of weaving together melodic fragments. And I think as improvising musicians, we can learn, study and enjoy a lot from these ideas.
I also made a jazz chart of the gigue, to see what it would look like, and maybe get folks seeing (and hearing) more of the bebop-baroque connection …
This Double in B minor is a wonderful piece to both play and study on guitar.
Within the framework of the 1st Partita for Solo Violin, the Sarabande and its corresponding Double use the same chord progression & similar melodies.
