Bach's Violin Partitas represent the apotheosis of the Baroque tradition on strings. Comprised of varying numbers of traditional dance-based movements, the Partitas are pillars of the repertoire and have been performed and recorded by numerous violinists.
The Chaconne from the Violin Partita No. 2 in D minor has enjoyed a spate of transcriptions, including a popular arrangement for piano by Ferrucio Busoni and an orchestration by Leopold Stokowski. This evening we will hear an innovative arrangement for trumpet and orchestra, interpreted by Doc Severinsen and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra under Erich Kunzel.
