Tossup

An 8-movement piece titled for this genre consists of four movements each accompanied by a variational “double,” the last of which is marked “Tempo di Borea.” Hans-Peter Schmitz ascribed the name of this genre to an A minor work for flute (10[1])that ends with a “Bourrée angloise.” Six keyboard works titled for this genre comprise the Clavier-Übung I. The final movement of a piece in this genre consists of 64 variations on a four-bar theme and was lauded as “the greatest structure for solo violin” by Yehudi Menuhin. That movement from a set of works in this genre that inspired a Caroline Shaw piece “for 8 voices” (10[4])is an oft-excerpted violin chaconne. For 10 points, name this genre of dance suite that J. S. Bach (10[1])paired with sonatas. (10[1])■END■ (0[2])
