Six Suites for Viola Solo

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Kim Kashkashian

Six Suites for Viola Solo is a set of six suites for solo viola by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. The works are Baroque unaccompanied string music that use dance-suite forms and implied polyphony to produce contrapuntal textures for a single bowed instrument, and they belong to Bach's early 18th-century output of solo instrumental pieces.
