J. S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin have been regarded as a pinnacle of the violin repertory virtually since they were composed. During the 19th century they were introduced to a larger concert public by Joseph Joachim. Now they are regarded as everything that a set of works is capable of being: superb concert repertory, superb material for students to work at, and, not least, superb examples of compositional techniques. The aim of this edition is to encourage viola players to become more familiar with these great works, and at the same time help them interpret Bach’s ambiguous performance markings, as a string player of the period would have done.
