Bach's Partita in A minor for solo flute, BWV 1013, is considered by some to be the earliest of his authenticated compositions for the instrument. It has conjecturally been dated to the 1720s or, by some, to a date nearer the beginning of the composer's employment at Cothen, 1718. Although not entirely idiomatic in its writing, the Partita is an essential part of a very limited repertoire for the unaccompanied flute. It opens with an Allemande, coupled, as tradition dictated, with a livelier Corrente. The slow Sarabande leads to a final English Bourree.
