Bach: Sonatas and Partitas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Frank Bungarten

Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin is a set of six works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1720. Written during the Baroque period, the works blend intricate polyphonic writing with virtuosic solo violin technique across fugal and dance-based movements, and they constitute a central component of Bach's output for solo instrumental music.
First released: 2001
