Sonatas for Cello & Clavier

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Daniil Shafran & Andrei Volkonsky

Sonatas for Cello & Clavier is a set of chamber sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. The works combine Baroque contrapuntal writing with an obbligato clavier part, producing an interdependent dialogue between cello and keyboard that occupies a notable place in Bach's instrumental output and influenced later chamber repertoire.
