Like the Allemande, this Sarabande also features chromatic progressions. Emotionally, the expression feels strong, suggesting that a broad dynamic range is desirable. Both the first and second halves of this Sarabande exhibit a characteristic phrase pattern of 'rapid ascent followed by gradual descent'. The gradual descent leads to a cadence (final form).

First Half

In the first half, the melodic line ascends from bar 1, reaching B in bar 2, then gradually descends, arriving at an E minor cadence in bar 8. From this point, it ascends again to F-sharp in bar 11, and from there, a gradual descent leads to the cadence in bar 16.

Second Half

In the second half, beginning in G major at bar 17, the line reaches D in bar 18, then gradually descends to bar 24. From here, it ascends again, this time gradually yet emotionally, towards G in bar 29. From there, it reaches an E minor cadence in the final bar. Therefore, the G in bar 29 represents the highest tension and the peak point of this Sarabande.

Dynamically, a smooth flow can be achieved by simply playing higher notes louder and lower notes softer.
