Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-1006

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Salvatore Accardo

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001–1006 is a set of six works for unaccompanied violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. Rooted in the Baroque idiom, they combine intricate counterpoint, substantial technical demands and wide expressive range to extend the capabilities of solo violin writing and occupy a central position in Bach's instrumental output and in the solo violin repertoire.
