This may seem like an odd request. But I'm trying to track down as many Sarabande Bach movements as possible, to make a compilation of them as to study their form, and because I really like what I have already.

Your best bet is probably to track down every suite or partita.  Because the majority of suites have one. It's one of the standard dances.

Having said that, the 3rd of the 3 solo violin partitias doesn't have one...

But basically, try: the cello suites, the violin partitas, all the keyboard suites (6 partitas, 6 'english' suites, 6 'french' suites, partita/french overture in B minor, a few miscellaneous ones), the partita for solo flute, the suite for solo lute BWV 996.  Only the second of the 4 orchestral suites has one, surprisingly.

Every single post on the forum is unnecessary. Including the ones that are interesting or useful.

To me, the most beautiful Sarabandes of Bach are the Sarabande of the First Partita for harpsichord and the Sarabande of the Cello Suite n. 5.

Orfeo's answer is the perfect one, but if you stick Bach Sarabande into IMSLP's search engine you ought to find every score you are looking for, even if you need to do a little sifting.

See, this has just revived my own urge to catalogue which kind of dance appears in which suite.  Not just sarabandes but all the others.  I have a bit of a thing for courantes myself.  But not so much correntes!
