Bach’s Preludio from Partita No.3 - Theta Brainwave Meditation

Posted on November 19, 2007

Some people aren’t particularly big fans of the violin – but I think it is a fantastic instrument. Bach wrote some amazing music for this instrument, in particular I have a real thing for Bach’s Prelude from Partita.

You maybe wondering why I mention this here. Well the effect of Bach’s music can be very similar to brainwave entrainment audio, and Partita I have found can help to induce a theta trance, and in someways is more effective than a theta binaural beat.

It does certainly come down to personal taste – but in either event try a brief meditation to this and see if it has any effect…

It is a typo on youtube too, the correct word is: Partita. This one is the Preludio from Partita No.3 in E major, BWV 1006. (Please feel free to delete this comment)

Thanks for pointing that out. I have corrected the title and the word Partita. But have left ‘prelude’ in the main text as I have often seen it referred to as that (it’s that way on Vanessa Mae’s album too), whether that is correct or incorrect.

Cheers…

As a violinist, I find unaccompanied Bach very meditative. My favorite, however, is Bach’s 5th movement, the Chaconne, from his 2nd Partita:

Oh, and as far as Preludio vs. Prelude, Prelude is the English word for the Italian word Preludio.
