J. S. Bach
THE SIX SONATAS FOR VIOLIN & HARPSICORD

VOLUME TWO

Micaela Comberti ~ Baroque Violin
With Colin Tiney ~ Harpsichord


DOR-90234 Cover

Forkel's life of Bach was finally published in 1802, more than half a century after Bach's death.   In it, following a long eulogy of Bach's genius and acheivements, Forkel gives a list of the composer's music, first the engraved works and then the unpublished manuscripts, in the second catagory, at the head of Bach's chamber works and harpsichord concertos, he places the violin sonatas he had received from Emanuel.   "Six Sonatas for the clavier with the accompaniment of violin obbligato.   They were composed at Cöthen and may be reckoned among Bach's first masterpieces in this field."
