That seems to be a mistake. The plural of Partia in German is Partien. That is the plural form used by Richard D. Jones (Creative Development of J.S. Bach, vol II, Oxford University Press, page 171) and by Ledbetter (Unaccompanied Bach, Yale University Press, Page 111). It is a German/Austrian word in the context used by Jones and by Ledbetter. The word Partias appears in neither book. "Partias" seems to be a creation of wikipedians. Mathsci (talk) 01:25, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
