Partita in A Minor

Jan Anton Logy

This Partita in A Minor was composed by the Bohemian composer Jan Anton Losy (also spelled as Logy) (1643 - 1721). The movements are Aria, Cappricio, Sarabande, Gavotte and Gigue.

Losy was quite well known amongst his fellow Baroque composers, given the fact that Silvius Leopold Weiss (1867 - 1750) composed Tombeau sur la Mort de Monseigneur Comte de Logy in remembrance of Losy's death in 1721.

The Partita is fun to play, although there are a few passages in the fast Gavotte and the Gigue which require thorough practice.
