Bach - Violin Solos from the Sacred Vocal Works (BAR)
Bach employed one or two solo violins in most of his sacred vocal works. However, although these works have a firm place in the musical life of our time, the solo passages and movements they contain are generally not considered fully-fledged items of the violin repertoire, whether in teaching or in performance. The object of the present collection is to serve violinists both as a study edition and as an instrumental part for performing purposes, not only providing a reliable musical text based on the Urtext of the New Bach Edition (NBA), but also making available all the information necessary to project the meaning of the words so that violinists can do justice to the multifarious challenges posed by Bach’s solos for violin.
As an aid to the interpretation of these violin solos, the collection richly annotated with fingerings and articulation markings offers not only the violin part but also the complete vocal part for each movement.
