The Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Oscar Shumsky

The Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin is a set of six solo violin works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. Rooted in the Baroque tradition, the pieces combine intricate polyphonic writing and virtuosic technical demands that expanded the expressive and structural possibilities of the solo violin repertoire and occupy a central place in violin pedagogy and performance history.
