6 Sonatas & Partitas for Violin Alone

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Joseph Szigeti

Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (BWV 1001–1006) is a set of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. The pieces combine intricate polyphonic writing with Baroque dance forms, demanding both technical virtuosity and contrapuntal clarity, and they form a foundational part of the solo violin repertoire and of Bach's instrumental output.
