Analysis of “Allemande” from J.S. Bach’s English Suite No. 3 in G minor. I have analysed Bach’s allemande from the English suite no. 3 using the Schenkerian method‚ by reducing the score down to its basic foundations‚ in order to show how the work can be understood on the foreground‚ middle ground and background levels.

ricerare-type alla breve fugue‚ with a step by step ascending and descending repeated note pattern‚ the movement has a Baroque like nature within its ornate‚ chant-like‚ modal‚ conjunct‚ harmonic and tonal characteristics.

When Bach left the court of the Duke of Weimar and went to Köthen‚ his musical genius gets more clearly recognised.
