The Three Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Leonard Rose & Glenn Gould

The Three Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord are a set of three sonatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1740. Scored for viola da gamba and harpsichord, they blend Baroque counterpoint with dance-derived movements and an intimate chamber texture that juxtaposes lyrical solo lines against continuo-driven accompaniment, and they occupy a place in Bach's late instrumental output as explorations of timbre and accompaniment roles.
