Partita in A Minor BWV 1013


Partita in A Minor BWV 1013 is a solo work by Johann Sebastian Bach, originally composed for unaccompanied flute. Its four movements — Allemande, Corrente, Sarabande, and Bourrée angloise — present a continuous flow of melodic lines with implied harmony, making it a rigorous and rewarding piece to arrange for electric guitar. Adapting Bach's counterpoint and phrasing to guitar challenges players to think carefully about voice leading, dynamics, and articulation across the fretboard.

  • BWV 1013 is one of Bach's few solo works for a single melody instrument with no chordal accompaniment whatsoever.
  • The Allemande opening movement is especially demanding, requiring guitarists to sustain melodic flow with minimal harmonic support.
  • The piece appears on the 2012 album Die Soloflote, Vol. 1: Barock, dedicated to Baroque solo flute repertoire.
