Partita No. 2 in C minor is in six parts: Sinfonia, Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Rondeaux, and Capriccio.

The Partitas are the last set of Keyboard Suites that Bach composed and the most technically demanding of the three. They were composed between 1725 and 1731.

In keeping with a nineteenth century naming tradition that labeled Bach's first set of Suites English and the second French, the Partitas are often referred to as the German Suites. In comparison with the two earlier sets of suites, the Partitas are by far the most free-ranging in terms of structure.

While each of the Partitas was published separately, they were collected into a single volume (1731), known as the Clavier-Übung I (Keyboard Practice), which Bach himself chose to label his Opus 1.
