Sonatas & Partitas for solo violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Yehudi Menuhin

Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin is a set of six works for unaccompanied violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. They exemplify Baroque counterpoint and dance forms, employing implied polyphony and demanding technical writing that expanded the expressive and technical possibilities of the solo violin within Bach's instrumental output.
