The Six Sonatas & Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Tedi Papavrami

The Six Sonatas and Partitas is a set of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed and compiled around 1720. Written in the Baroque idiom, the pieces employ intricate contrapuntal techniques, demanding virtuosic violin technique and implied polyphony within single-line writing, and they occupy a prominent place in Bach's output for solo string instruments and in the violin repertoire.
