Reviews of this publication:

* Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach’s six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord (BWV
1014-1019) form a unified cycle.
Each has its own profile and places its own demands on the player.

This new edition is largely based on Bach’s “definitive version” as
captured in the manuscript
copy prepared by Johann Christoph Altnickol. However, as this source
is not absolutely secure
with regard to dynamics, articulation, ornamentation and titles, the
editor has also drawn on
earlier copies prepared by Johann Friedrich Agricola and Carl
Philipp Emanuel Bach.
Substantive departures from the Altnickol MS appear on ossia staves:
a list of alternative
readings allows readers to trace the provenance of each reading.
Sonatas BWV 1018 and 1019 are accompanied by early versions
illustrating the various stages
that these works passed through.

Peter Wollny’s detailed preface explains the sonatas’ significance
to the history of their genre
and provides a rich commentary on the transmission and evaluation of
the sources.
Rounding off this Urtext edition is a violin part marked up for
performance purposes
by Andrew Manze. Here the reader will find fingerings and
recommended ornaments
as well as notes on performance practice.
