2 events triggered this Chaconne: reading about the Prinner in Gjerdingen's "Music in the Galant Style" and listening to Holland Albright's https://youtu.be/zcI1qZMo1gA Passion/Lament. The melodies in the winds are based on the sequence B-A-G-F#, the bass line is E-D-C-B thus parallel 5ths. The Prinner would have the melodic lines based on G-F#-E-D (parallel 3rds). Perhaps this could be called a 19th century variation of the Prinner.
