Sonatas & Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Christian Tetzlaff

Sonatas and Partitas is a set of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1720. The pieces are Baroque solo violin compositions that mix polyphonic writing, dance-form movements and technically demanding passages, and they are central to Bach's output for solo instruments and to the violin repertoire.
