Edited from the sources and provided with notes on interpretation by Dagmar Glüxam

The Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin (BWV 1001–1006) are a set of six works composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. They are also called the Sonatas and Partias for solo violin, in accordance with Bach's original terms: "Partia" was common in German-speaking regions during Bach's time, whereas the Italian "Partita" was introduced to this set in the 1879 Bach Gesellschaft edition, having become standard at that time. The set consists of three sonatas da chiesa, in four movements, and three partitas (or partias), in dance-form movements.
