Sonatas & Partitas BWV 1001-1006

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Sigiswald Kuijken

Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, BWV 1001–1006, are a set of six works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. Rooted in the Baroque idiom, the collection alternates contrapuntal sonatas and dance-based partitas, showcasing complex polyphony, demanding technical virtuosity and a wide expressive range that are central to the solo violin repertoire and exemplify Bach's mature instrumental writing.
