Kreutzer No. 22
D-minor partita: Sarabande
The Sarabande could be played on an accordion. The chords sound like they are breathing in and out. In the first measure, I can imagine the accordion pressing in one beat one and pulling out on beats two and three, or vice versa. Also, "wake up" quality of rolling of the bow from the G and D strings to the A and E strings on the first chord reminds me of the way accordions get suddenly loud when the player moves the bellows quickly.
The movement also sounds like something that would be played in a church, particularly at the end of the first section. The violinist holds out and open E and plays underneath it, ending on the five chord. It sounds like the happily ever after with God end of an organ piece.
