Sonatas & Partitas for Solo Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Midori

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six works for unaccompanied violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1720. The works use Baroque counterpoint and dance forms and combine fugues with lyrical and virtuosic movements that require advanced technical control and varied articulation, and they come from Bach's Köthen period when he wrote much instrumental music.
