Excerpts from Eternity
By Barnabás Dukay & Márta Ábrahám

Excerpts from Eternity presents a complete structural, motivic, and harmonic analysis of the Chaconne from Bach’s Partita in D minor (BWV 1004), grounded in 21st-century Bach research. This groundbreaking study, the result of years of collaboration between composer Barnabás Dukay and violinist Márta Ábrahám—both professors at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music—offers the most detailed analysis of the Chaconne to date.

The authors reveal a hidden time code embedded in the structure of the work—an extraordinary discovery previously unknown for 300 years. This encrypted system not only redefines our understanding of the Chaconne, but also carries broader significance for the history of art and music. One could say it offers a solution to the long-standing mystery of the Chaconne itself.

Richly illustrated with musical examples and diagrams, the book guides the reader through the intricate architecture of the piece’s 64 variations. It uncovers a complex inner network of form and symbolism that extends far beyond music alone.
A milestone of Baroque composition, the Chaconne represents the peak of Bach’s formal and polyphonic mastery. This essential volume offers fresh insight for performers, musicologists, composers, and all serious music lovers. Understanding the deeper logic behind Bach’s variation technique may inspire a new generation of interpreters—and spark a true paradigm shift in performance.
