The Preludio that you have asked about is the first movement of BWV 1006,
the Partita for unaccompanied violin.  There is reference to an arrangement
by Bach for a keyboard instrument called 1006a, and furthermore, there is
use of the same movement in the Cantata BWV 29 Sinfonia (first movement)
scored for chamber orchestra and organ.  The cantata is called Wir danken
dir Gott, wir danken dir.

This information can be found in the Schmieder Catalog.
