Between 1726 and 1731, Bach published a partita every year, and then in 1731 he had the six works published together as the first part of the volume Clavier-Übung. He designated the work Op. 1; it was the first work to which he gave an opus number. Each partita consists of seven splendid movements, which reveal stylistic variety and a composer teeming with ideas. It is in these pieces that Bach's output of suites for keyboard instruments reached its apotheosis. They surpass the frequently played French and English Suites both artistically and in terms of the demands made on the performer.

EMB Urtext Series
The volumes of this series go back to the contemporary sources and attempt to come as near as possible to the composers' original intentions, stripping the works of the frequently arbitrary editorial markings which they became burdened with over the course of several decades. The necessary emendations and information on techniques are distinguished unambiguously from the original music text. The use of urtext editions appear as basic requirements on the part of music teachers and performers alike.
