Join violinist Alice Earll to listen and explore J.S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin. They are some of the most exceptional and best-known pieces for unaccompanied violin in today’s canon, but what was the inspiration behind these seminal works? Was Bach’s composition a singular work of genius or the pinnacle of a well-worn compositional path?

Music by Bach, Westhoff and Biber.
