Burlesque

"Burlesque" is translated as the exaggerated and comical expression of trivial matters. In musical terminology, it seems to refer to non-serious music, such as pranks or playfulness.

The Burlesque within this Partita can be considered "vertical" music rather than horizontally flowing music. Therefore, it is desirable to grasp the 3/4 meter and convey a lively feeling.

The first half is divided into two 8-bar sections: bars 1-8 and bars 9-16. In bars 1-8, please increase the dynamics, peaking at bar 5. In bars 9-16, the highest note of this first half, C, is reached at bar 14. Before reaching C, the tension builds through two ascending sequences, so this C can be considered a peak point.

The second half begins at bar 17 and concludes at bar 24, mirroring bars 1-8. From bar 28, there is a two-bar descending sequence, followed by another descending sequence in bars 29-30. At bar 31, increase the volume, and bar 32 can be considered the first peak point. The consecutive octaves between the 2nd and 3rd beats of bar 32 are highly unusual in their overtness, possibly incorporating an element of playfulness.

From bar 33, there are four one-bar ascending sequences, and the F in the right hand on the 3rd beat of bar 37 should be considered another peak point.
