Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, Badinerie (Final chapter)
Oregon Bach Festival Chamber Orchestra/Helmuth Rilling
-- The badinerie (also spelled 'battinerie'; from French 'jesting') is best known for its designation as the final movement of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor. The movement is light in mood, and is structured in a binary form; it is cast in a swift 2/4 metre beginning on the upbeat, much in the manner of a fast gavotte.
