Johann Sebastian Bach

Badinerie BWV 1067

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions indispensable to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in the form of traditional works (paper sheets), and also available by download.



Originally written for transverse flute, strings and continuo, this suite (overture) in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, like all his orchestral suites, is clearly influenced by French music.
The Overture is followed by a Rondeau, a Sarabande, two Bourrées, a Polonaise, a Menuet and, finally, the famous Badinerie, here transcribed for piano, which, with its spirited, infectious rhythm, gives every music lover the irresistible urge to dance and party.
