The Partita No. 3 in E major BWV 1006 by Johann Sebastian Bach for solo violin is the last work in the set of Six Sonatas and Partitas.
The entire partita was transcribed by Bach for lute solo, cataloged as BWV 1006a.

The "Gavotte en Rondeau" is famously included on the Voyager Golden Record and often heard in TV or radio programs.
The most commonly found recordings are usually of the Preludio. The Preludio demands advanced bowing technique and consists almost entirely of semiquavers (i.e. sixteenth notes). The Preludio was also transcribed by Bach for solo organ, oboes, trumpets and strings in the opening sinfonia of the cantata Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29 in D major, and was as well used as an introduction to the second part of the cantata Herr Gott, Beherrscher aller Dinge, BWV 120a.

In 1933 Sergei Rachmaninoff transcribed for piano (and subsequently recorded) the Preludio, Gavotte, and Giga from this partita (as TN 111/1).
