Help please

on: March 02, 2010, 10:50:26 AM

I need someone to help me with an analysis for Bach Polonaise from French Suite number six BWV 817.
I have something written,but I don't use quite a good terminology:

So this is the polonaise:
https://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/1/1e/IMSLP02106-Bach_french_suite6.pdf

What significance does have Bach's use of non-harmonic tones?To me,perhaps it has a modulative significance because whenever he uses accidental,that's when the piece modulates.
And did Bach broke any ''rule'' or created any exception? It seems to me that he used several times a big interval leap.

Please help.

Bach made the rules so he can't break them. Haha.

I've heard it makes modulation less jarring if the new notes are introduced gradually -- #4, b7.
