6 Violin Sonatas, BWV 1014-1019a

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Monica Huggett & Ton Koopman

Six Violin Sonatas, BWV 1014–1019a is a set of six chamber sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720–1723. The works combine intricate contrapuntal writing with an obbligato harpsichord part and idiomatic violin figurations, reflecting Baroque sonata forms and representing a significant phase in Bach's development of instrumental chamber music and the dialogue between solo and continuo forces.
First released: 1983
