Bach - Sonatas for Violin and Piano
Johann Sebastian Bach probably composed his Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord BWV 1014 through 1019 while working as chapel master of Köthen. It is assumed he wrote the sonatas for Prince Leopold and later adapted them for personal use in Leipzig. Maybe it because of this that the pieces are very suitable for amateurs, though all sonatas also have enough finesse to pose professional musicians with a challenge. The separate pieces are meant to be played as a set, like the 'Brandenburg concertos'.
