Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Sergey Khachatryan

Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six works for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. The works are Baroque solo violin compositions that fuse fugal counterpoint with dance-derived movements, exploring the instrument's polyphonic possibilities and technical challenges, and they occupy a central place in Bach's Köthen-period instrumental output and in the solo violin repertoire.
