Johann Sebastian Bach -  Sonatas and Partitas for Viola Solo BWV 1001-1006 Book

The aim of this edition is to make Bach's landmark works for solo violin accessible to viola players by presenting a musical text that remains close to the original but also has a distinctly practical focus. This transcription provides interpretative guidance on Baroque performance practices and how they can be applied to the viola.

In this edition, all pieces have been transposed down by a fifth to accommodate the viola's range, but no further changes were made to the original compositions. With 84 pages of meticulously transcribed music, this book allows viola players to explore and perform these timeless masterpieces with authenticity and ease.

Add this essential collection to your library and experience the profound beauty of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas on the viola.

Who Was Johann Sebastian Bach?

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque era. He is renowned for his intricate compositions and for the intellectual depth of his work. Notable for both his choral and instrumental music, Bach's repertoire includes the Mass in B Minor, the Brandenburg Concertos, and 'The Well-Tempered Clavier.' His compositions are considered some of the greatest in Western classical music history. Bach held various musical posts throughout his life, including positions at the courts of Weimar and Köthen, and finally as Cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. His influence on subsequent generations of composers is immeasurable.
