Bach's second partita from the Clavier-Übung, his first official opus, is at first appearance a standard keyboard suite of dances. But Bach's use of some more unusual dance forms, the Rondeaux and the Capriccio provide a whiff of continental flavor, at least in the titles. These final pair of dances also set apart performances.
