The Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor for Unaccompanied Violin may be the single most famous movement from these unaccompanied works for violin; it is among the most famous movements from Bach& chamber works as well.
By the time Bach wrote the Partita No. 2 in D minor, Corelli’s violin sonatas, published in 1700, were well known throughout Europe and were looked to as models for violin writing.

 The chaconne is a Baroque dance. Its origin was in Latin America, and, very soon thereafter, it traveled to Spain. The ...
Seeing the chaconne as a bass line with room for variation in the upper parts would create an opportunity to use the chorale melody and evolve it, along with other musical elements, into an interesting and expressive piece.
However, rather than using the chaconne as an expressive feature in the first movement of the cantata, Bach probably just used the structural features of a chaconne to compose the music.
Some people have also attributed the dance's invention to the devil.(Hudson 3-5) As a leading dance during the early seventeenth century, the chaconne was often accompanied by the guitar, percussion instruments such as the castanets and the tambourine, and a sung text with a refrain.

 William Cumpiano's Segovia Page: The Chaconne
Without doubt, the limitations of the violin have always been apparent in the performance of the Chaconne, andd eminent musicians fervent and respectful admirers of Bach, have essayed certain palliative.
In the case of the Chaconne, one might at times ask if Bach were not thinking of an instrument of the guitar family.
In its original form, the Chaconne is a great work -- not only great, but gigantic, because it exceeds the limitations of the violin.

 Chaconne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music a chaconne is a musical form.
One of the best known examples is the chaconne from the Violin Partita in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (the bass line is not always present in this work, but it is strongly implied).
Bach's Goldberg Variations are also frequently reckoned to be a chaconne, although Bach did not explicitly label them as such.

 Stereophile: Recording of January 2002: J.S. Bach: Morimur
Whether or not the grieving Bach intended, consciously or unconsciously, to draw the listener's attention to the various "death" chorales identified by Thoene, is beside the point.
Fascinated by this, baroque violinist Christoph Poppen, a baroque violinist and artistic director of the Munich Chamber Orchestra, suggested to ECM founder-producer Manfred Eicher that they record an arrangement by Thoene of the Chaconne, for solo violin and four voices, that would incorporate and thus reveal for the musical record those encrypted chorales.

We then hear the Chaconne again, this time with the chorale tunes layered on top of the violin part.
Therefore, Christoph Poppen's performances of the Partita's individual movements (which includes the Chaconne, of course) are interspersed with chorales sung by the Hilliard Ensemble.
This is especially so when the chorale melodies jump up to a higher register than where the violin plays.

That this can have been meant for the solo violin makes it even more astonishing, since its contrapuntal strands demand an independence and clarity that the violin yields grudgingly.

 ADRIAN WILLIAMS MUSIC REVIEWS
Works of this length for guitar (Chaconne lasts 27 minutes) are very rare, and the task of its composition must be viewed as commendable - if ambitious.
I do not mean to imply that Williams has used Nocturnal as a model; as I have already said, he clearly has his own signature stamped on this music.
All I can say is that those who have an affinity with the music of Britten will probably find Chaconne of interest.
