Sonatas & Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Shlomo Mintz

Sonatas and Partitas is a collection of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. Written in the Baroque idiom, the pieces combine contrapuntal and fugal writing with dance-based movements and virtuosic demands on the solo instrument, reflecting Bach's mature instrumental style and forming a central part of the solo violin repertoire.
