Partita No 2 in C minor for keyboard, BWV 826

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Performer: Beatrice Rana (Piano)
Recording date: 31 January 2016
Date of broadcast: 13 August 2016

Highly dramatic, the opening Sinfonia has the scale of an orchestral work. The air of playfulness continues in a Rondeaux before ending with a lively Capriccio, which includes thrilling runs and leaps in the pianist’s hands.
