      Bach's 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 Kothen where his employer Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Kothen, 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 classic edition by Carl Flesch from Edition Peters provides a fascinating insight into the great virtuoso tradition of the early twentieth century. The score is presented as a parallel edition, with Flesch's edited score (containing numerous fingerings, bowings and performance directions) appearing above Bach's original.

      Sonaten und Partiten für Violine solo BWV 1001–1006: Ausgabe von Carl Flesch

      Es wird vermutet, Johann Sebastian Bach hätte die sechs Sonaten und Partiten für Violine solo nach dem frühen Tod seiner Frau komponiert, um ihr ein Andenken zu schaffen beziehungsweise seine Trauer zu verarbeiten. Die jeweils viersätzigen Sonaten haben jeweils eine Partita zugeordnet und sind weder von Orchester noch Basso continuo begleitet. Sie wurden jedoch mehrfach adaptiert und für andere Instrumente oder Ensembles bearbeitet, auch von Kollegen und Bewunderern. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelte man sogar einen speziellen Rundbogen, der das Spiel der Akkorde erleichtern sollte.So bedeutend die sechs Sonaten und Partiten auch sein mögen, sie sind vor allem eins: eine Herausforderung. Dank ihrer komplexen Struktur in einer polyphon anmutenden Schreibweise ist das saubere Spiel der zwölf Stücke sehr anspruchsvoll, allerdings hat sie auch den Effekt, dass die Violine sich selbst begleitet. Das ist die Besonderheit an Bachs Sonaten und Partiten, die sie trotzdem spannend macht und dabei den Ehrgeiz des Violinisten anstachelt.
