Bach’s Gigue from Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004 is fleet, poised, and quietly relentless — a dance movement full of forward motion, but shadowed by the darker gravity of the larger partita. On guitar, the piece loses some of the violin’s biting edge and gains warmth, intimacy, and a more lute-like clarity. The result is Bach as elegant architecture in motion: precise, dancing, inward, and beautifully restrained. 🎸
