Without any doubt J.S. Bach's cycle of the three Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 represents one of the pinnacles of classical European music. According to C.P.E. Bach a contemporary voice stated that there was "nothing more accomplished in order to become a good violinist" than his father's works. The cycle reflects the entire harmonic and polyphonic musical universe of Bach's time, so masterfully composed that it can be rendered within the limited framework of but a single instrument - the violin.

The new publication of the Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 (BA 5256) constitutes a complete revision of our older edition (BA 5116). The musical text has been edited by Peter Wollny and represents the most up-to-date state of research as published in the New Bach Edition - Revised (NBArev), volume BA 5937-01. The edition is mainly based on Bach's unusually clear autograph which is considered among the most beautiful manuscripts by the composer. All relevant secondary sources h
