Sonatas & Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Jaakko Kuusisto

Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin is a set of six works by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. They showcase Bach's application of contrapuntal technique to a single instrument through dance-derived movements and demanding virtuosity, and they occupy a central place in the Baroque solo violin repertoire and in his instrumental output.
