Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Julia Fischer

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1720. The pieces employ Baroque dance forms, complex fugal writing and implied polyphony to produce richly textured music for unaccompanied violin, demanding considerable technical skill and serving as a central example of Bach's contrapuntal and solo-instrument writing within the Baroque repertoire.
