The Partita in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004) by Johann Sebastian Bach was written during the period 1717--1723 and some scholars—Professor Helga Thoene prominently—suggest it was written in memory of Bach's first wife, Maria Barbara Bach. The partita contains five movements: 1.Allemanda 2.Corrente 3.Sarabanda 4.Giga 5.Ciaccona A strong common theme is shared between the first four movements. In the Allemande, there is a hint at the repeated bass, which from then on continues to haunt the piece until it makes its full appearance in the Ciaconna. While the first four movements reflect the standard German baroque dance suite, the overall dark character of the partita is enhanced by the monumental Ciaccona which closes the work. Notable recordings of the Partita have been made by Ida Haendel, Henryk Szeryng, Midori Goto, Nathan Milstein, Arthur Grumiaux, Lara St. John, Gidon Kremer, Jascha Heifetz, Itzhak Perlman, Yehudi Menuhin, Leonid Kogan, Hilary Hahn, Rachel Podger, Ann Fontanella, Peter Chang, and Julia Fischer to name a few. Paul Gilbert plays the 4th movement on the electric guitar on his 2010 album Fuzz Universe
