Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Arthur Grumiaux

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a collection of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1720. They exemplify Baroque violin repertoire, combining intricate contrapuntal writing, dance-derived movements and considerable virtuosic demands, and they occupy a central place within Bach's instrumental output and the standard solo-violin repertoire.
