Bach Chaconne (Busoni) analysis

on: June 18, 2011, 01:41:58 AM

i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get hold of a complete analysis of the Chaconne from JS Bach's Partita Number 2 in D Minor for Solo Violin, which lists out bar numbers of all the respective variations and anything useful..

Is it more appropriate to regard the opening theme as the initial 4 and a half bars or the first 8 bars of the chaconne?
