Bach Sonatas & Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Shlomo Mintz

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. Written in the Baroque idiom for unaccompanied violin, the works employ contrapuntal writing and dance forms and occupy a central position in the solo violin repertoire as part of Bach's mature instrumental output.
