Suite pour luth BWV 997 n°03 : sarabande

About this work

The Sarabande is the third movement of Suite BWV 997. In this guitar transcription in A minor, an ornamented line moves above widely spaced bass notes and chords whose suspensions lend weight to the second beat.

The movement is brief, yet each repeat changes the balance between voices. Cadences arise less from slowing down than from the resolution of dissonance and from the gradual withdrawal of resonance.

Play bass and melody first, then restore the inner voices. Sustain suspensions through their resolution, pace ornaments without breaking the pulse and use common strings to connect the chords.
