6 Solo Sonatas and Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Viktoria Mullova

Six Solo Sonatas and Partitas is a set of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. The pieces combine contrapuntal writing and dance-inspired movements, featuring fugues and stylised dances that explore the technical and expressive possibilities of the solo violin and occupy a central place in Bach's instrumental output and the solo violin repertoire.
