Johann Sebastian Bach’s (1685—
1750) Six
Sonatas and Partitas have captivated violinists
for centuries. Rachel Barton Pine—having
spent decades studying the music of Bach,
his contemporaries, and his predecessors—
now offers this unparalleled edition complete
with detailed historical notes, performance
suggestions, and downloadable study materials
including a new Urtext edition and a specially
prepared manuscript. Pine’s interpretation
is informed by thorough historical study, which has been polished by
years of performance insight, but also encourages those studying Bach’s
repertoire to craft their own unique interpretation of these timeless
masterpieces. This edition closely follows Pine’s critically acclaimed 2016
recording “Testament: Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by
J.S. Bach” (Avie 2360) making it an invaluable resource for any student,
teacher, or performer enthralled with J.S. Bach’s long standing legacy.
Ms. Pine holds the distinction of being the only American and youngest
person to win the gold medal at the J.S. Bach International Violin
Competition in Leipzig, Germany, 1992.
