Yes, making music with others is one of the best things about being a violinist, and a string duo, trio or quartet is great for weddings and other private or corporate events. But sometimes through constraints of availability / space / budget – or just for the thrill of it - we need to go it alone. That’s when music for unaccompanied violin (not merely solo violin) comes into its own.
Here’s the glorious Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major, transposed into D major so it can be played on the violin. Although the original version is the epitome of celloism, Bach will hopefully be okay with this since he himself rearranged and transposed the Prelude from his solo violin Partita No. 3 in E major. The present articulation is based on the copy made by Bach's wife, Anna Magdalena, during his lifetime.
