Violin Sonata No. 1 in G minor , BWV 1001

by Johann Sebastian Bach

Violin Baroque Sonata ~16 min professional

The first of Bach's three sonatas for solo violin, structured as a sonata da chiesa. The monumental four-voice fugue is one of the most technically and musically demanding movements in the solo violin repertoire, requiring the performer to sustain polyphonic textures on a single melodic instrument.
