Analyzing Bach Partitas

[diedel]

Hello,
I'm trying to analyze the first movement of the Partita 5 in G, the preambulum, or praeambulum...
For example, in bars 49 (the right hand  plays 4 semiquavers D#-A-F#-D# and a half note B) to 52 and 53-56 (seems some type of downscales...) , how to analyze it?

I've working too in the Gigue of the Partita 3 in A minor, it seems more easy to analyze because the chords underlying are clear and the most of time they follow a downside circle of fifths.
See the bars 11 second half-14 (Am, D, G, C, F#dim, B, E), bars 16 second half-21 (B, Em, A, Dm, G, C, F, Bdim, E, Am) and more.

 hey diedel!
 excuse me, but what kind of analysis are you in? it´s impossible to answer to you without that information.
 best!

Hi gerryjay,
I try to do an harmonic analysis or harmonic reduction if possible. I know in counterpoint music is more difficult, but it helps me a lot when practicing and memorizing the pieces.
I'm an amateur and my music theory is very limited.

About the preambulum in partita 5 I can see that the bar 1 and 3 are clearly a G chord, and in the bars 8 to 15 (they were hard to play correctly, but finally succeeded) there is a descending circle of fifths (D, G7, C#dim, F#m7, Bm, Em7, A, D)

Greetings!

For example, in bars 49 (the right hand  plays 4 semiquavers D#-A-F#-D# and a half note B)

Its a B major chord within the melodic minor scale of the tonic parallell chord (E minor) and it dissolves in bar 51. (to E minor)

Thanks petter!

In the same bar it starts modulating to A minor through its dominant E7. I would think of bar 52-56 as mostly A minor and E7.

Yes, after your first post I've seen this too!
Thank you very much petter.
