SONATEN UND PARTITEN BWV 1001-1006 FÜR VIOLINE ...

Bach's Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato  the set of three Sonatas and three Partitas
for unaccompanied violin  were completed by 1720. Perhaps seeded as early as 1703  they were
ultimately fruits of his years employed as Kapellmeister at the court in Köthen where his
employer Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen  a Calvinist with little requirement for liturgical
music and also a keen musician  encouraged Bach to write much instrumental music for public and
private entertainment. Nothing written before approached the complexity  expressive range and
scale of this music  from the volleys of chords and rhythmic intricacy of the B minor Partita's
opening Allemanda> i> and the endlessly inventive elaboration of the same work's variant
'doubles' to the vastness of the D minor Partita's concluding Ciaccona  possibly the longest
stand-alone movement written to that point  which contains worlds of contrast in its 64
variants of the opening bars. Reportedly a fine violinist himself  Bach completely redefined
virtuosic and expressive violinistic possibility in these works. This Urtext edition by Max
Rostal from Edition Peters is a cornerstone of any violinist's library.
