Three Sonatas and Three Partitas for Violin Solo arranged for Viola Solo, BWV 1001-1006, Johann Sebastian Bach

Three Sonatas and Three Partitas for Violin solo BWV 10011006 - Edition for VIOLA

Description

Johann Sebastian Bachs cycle of Three Sonatas and Partitas BWV 10011006 for solo violin is one of the most famous string compositions of the 18th century and of the violin repertoire as a whole. With the limited resources of a single melody instrument, the composer masterfully presents the entire harmonic and polyphonic musical universe of his time.

These works have also been played on the viola for centuries. In his version for solo viola, Chung Park draws on a careful study of the revised Urtext edition of Bachs Sonatas and Partitas published by Bärenreiter and edited by Peter Wollny (BA05256). Parks edition offers elegant and idiomatic solutions to the technical challenges that arise when playing these violin works on the viola.
