A different approach to adapt J.S. Bach's 3rd Violin Partita BWV 1006 for flute

This study examines the history and meaning of the "Sei Solo per Violino senza Basso accompagnato" composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in general and from the point of view of flautists. The work is discussed based on some exemplary arrangements on the work and the methods and approaches used in these arrangements, within the framework of the general acceptance it has seen in the world of music throughout history. The most important criterion of the adaptation process is to transfer the work as close as possible to the original manuscript, for modern orchestral flute as well as baroque flute. Particular attention is given to which methods should be used in this process. The aim of the study is, using the example of Partita No. 3 BWV 1006, to clarify in which points, compared to the existing transcriptions, a better result, in terms of Baroque and Bach-related authenticity, can be achieved by using the proposed method in this thesis and thus contribute an additional, important solo work to the flute repertoire.
