This publication is the first of the complete special edition by BioBach-Music Book and Music Publishing L. P. which contain Johann Sebastian Bach’s three fugues, from the Three sonatas for Solo Violin.
The Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin (BWV 1001-1006) have a date of 1720 in the autograph manuscript. Over the past 300 years, these timeless and eternal works have become the “everyday bread” of violinists and the cornerstone of their repertoire.
Bach’s fugue writing art is incomparably colourful, deeply accurate and highly complex. Because of the richness of the Master's musical language and his form-creating solutions, which are both impressively economical and efficient, his works require meticulous analysis. This is especially true for the sonatas and partitas for solo violin, as the two-, three-, and sometimes four-part polyphonic processes are written in one line, which is particularly difficult to follow. Thus, the notation makes it even more difficult to unravel the horizontal and vertical connections between the notes. Our subtitle refers to this complication.
