Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Elizabeth Wallfisch & Paul Nicholson

Six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord (BWV 1014–1019) are a set of sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the 1720s. Written in the Baroque chamber-music tradition, they combine intricate contrapuntal lines and a dialogue between violin and harpsichord, with the keyboard part functioning as an equal partner rather than mere continuo, and they occupy an important place in Bach's chamber output and the early 18th-century violin repertoire.
First released: April 1998
