J.S. Bach: Sonatas & Partitas for Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gil Shaham

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. The music is Baroque in style and combines contrapuntal writing with slow movements and dance forms, and it has long been part of the solo violin repertoire and of Bach's instrumental output.
