The piece concludes with a rousing 6/8 finale in which phrases of the theme are tossed from section to section, giving your audience a final review of what they have learned. Very playable and very enjoyable for all! (6:10) / Orchestre A Cordes

for Strings Score and Parts. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN.
