"The final two movements of the C minor Partita are, respectively French (a rondeau, designated, perhaps incorrectly in the original print in the plural Rondeaux), and Italian: the finale is a concerto movement called Capriccio; a designation that appears to have little to do with the work’s actual character, which is at once concerto-like, virtuosic and yet strictly contrapuntal. Bach tests the player’s technical dexterity with ascending leaps of a tenth in the left hand; his idea (as well as the thematic material) being inverted in the second half, the only characteristic that this movement shares with a more typical gigue finale. The closing movement of this Partita requires a high standard of executive skill from the performer: as with the remaining works in the set, its demands, both technical and musical, range far beyond anything else in the contemporary repertoire."
