Violin Sonatas BWV 1020-1023

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Nils‐Erik Sparf & David Härenstam

Violin Sonatas BWV 1020-1023 are a set of four sonatas for violin and continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach, dating from the early 18th century. They exemplify Baroque chamber music, featuring close interplay between a solo violin and an obbligato keyboard part that blends lyrical violin lines with contrapuntal keyboard writing and represents a development in Bach's chamber output by expanding the keyboard's role beyond simple continuo.
