Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Henryk Szeryng

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six works for unaccompanied violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. They exemplify Baroque polyphony and contrapuntal writing applied to a solo instrument, combining dance-form movements with fugues and technically demanding passagework, and were written during Bach's Köthen period as part of his mature exploration of the solo string repertoire.
