-Sarabande has 2-part texture, with decorative flowing melody using mainly semiquavers in the right-hand and flowing quaver bass line in the left hand
-There are brief moments of light homophonic texture at the start and end of sections.
-The gigue is fugal, so opens monophonically with the fugal subject on D, then a 2-part texture with the enterence of the second part on A and then a 3-part texture with the 3rd part entering on D. Then the start of B section opens with a new counter-subject, also monophonically, and then builds up to 3 parts again, with very occasional 4-part chords.
-After the entry of the 3 fugal subjects the 3-part texture is varied and there is a long passage of free ounterpoint.
