As with the earlier French Suite and the English suite, the Partitas consist of series of dance movements but Bach's skill and originality have now elaborated the hitherto straightforward dance forms and given them a richly polyphonic, almost orchestral texture. In 1731 these Partitas were collectively published as Clavier-Ubung ('Keyboard Exercise').<br /><br />Student: Andres Carciente https://downloads.masterclassfoundation.org/ShowImage.ashx?ID=34660 https://downloads.masterclassfoundation.org/Download.ashx?Path=live4323&Key=001_05425c69fe3b4938b1420d365ccb2ae6_Web_Trailer.mp4&Bucket=dl.sto.flickrocket.com&PID=33835&CT=2&IgnoreRestriction=yes Masterclass Media Foundation, András Schiff, Bach, Partita No. 2, Piano Masterclass yes no https://downloads.masterclassfoundation.org/gb/boris-kuschnir-mozart-violin-concerto-no-4-k280-mmf-4-044/p/33843 0.5 Boris Kuschnir: Mozart - Violin Concerto No 4, K280 (MMF 4-044) Boris Kushnir was born in Kiev in 1948 and studied the violin at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire with Boris Berlinsky of the Borodin Quartet.
