Bach wrote this as part of the 3 third Violin Partita BWV 1006.

The version I play has some added counter melodies known as 1006a. This version is most commonly played on guitar.

I believe this piece reflects perfectly the creation of the universe. Both the big bang theory and the biblical account. It starts on a low E. Then Bach arpeggiates the E chord. Then we get E scales. Then crazier scales. Soon we moves to keys further away from E. I believe each piece by Bach is itself a tiny universe. Most of Bach's Fugues are as complex as our own universe. I suppose all pieces of music are tiny worlds, but none resemble our own as much as Bach's music in my opinion.
