Bach: Partite Diverse Sopra BWV 770 - Te Lindert

Partite Diverse Sopra: Ach, was soll ich Sünder machen, performed by Elske te Lindert for All of Bach, is based on a chorale which opens with the words “Oh what should I, a sinner, do? Oh where should I begin?” Bach shows no sign of such doubts, in a musical sense at any rate. He begins with a relatively simple harmonisation of the chorale melody (partita 1), and he also knows how to continue. It is followed by a series of 9 variations (partitas 2 – 10).
