These six partitas, BWV 825-830, were published individually from 1726 onwards, and in 1731 as a collection called \u003cem\u003eClavier-Übung\u003c\/em\u003e.\r\n\r\nAmong Bach’s works that can be described as dance suites — including the English Suites and French Suites — the partitas are the most technically demanding. They can be seen as the further development of his French Suites — more probing in the sense of a new approach to the different dance forms, more use of gallant melody with harmonies instead of imitating counterpoint, and containing new kinds of texture. In terms of the dance movements in particular, Bach leaves behind the traditional models, revealing remarkable creative freedom and variation.\r\n\r\nMortensen has one earlier release with music of Bach - \u003cstrong\u003ealso available from NativeDSD Music\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003eOuvertüre nach Französischer Art, BWV 831 \/ Sarabande con Partite, BWV 990 \/ Englische Suite Nr. 6 d-Moll, BWV 811\u003c\/em\u003e (LWC1174). His trademark playing style is based on knowledge of the authentic traditions, while at the same time remaining completely free of the traditions when he feels it offers an appropriate contrast.\r\n\r\nWith his critically acclaimed albums and concerts as soloist with the major Norwegian orchestras, Nils Anders Mortensen has distinguished himself as one of Norway’s leading pianists. He has been employed as state musician in Finnmark County for over 20 years, and is also active as a freelancer.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc\" data-id=\"1\"\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eNils Anders Mortensen, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lawo Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773350212,"sku":"LWC1249-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773382980,"sku":"LWC1249-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773415748,"sku":"LWC1249-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773448516,"sku":"LWC1249-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773481284,"sku":"LWC1249-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773514052,"sku":"LWC1249-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739773546820,"sku":"LWC1249-35","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339242316100,"sku":"LWC1249-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/LWC1249.jpg?v=1778490674","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/lwc1249-js-bach-partitas-nos-1-5-6","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
