Bach, 6Sonatas and Partitas for Violin Ed Galamian (IMC)

Bach Six Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin BWV 1001–1006 by Johann Sebastian Bach, edited by the legendary violin pedagogue Ivan Galamian and published by International Music Company, presents the summit of the solo violin repertoire through the analytical, disciplined perspective of one of the 20th century’s most influential teachers; these six works—at once architectural, spiritual, and uncompromising—demand absolute control of tone, rhythm, and polyphonic clarity, and Galamian’s editorial insight offers performers a practical, modern pathway through Bach’s complex textures without obscuring the music’s structural integrity or expressive power.

Key features:

• Represents the ultimate artistic and technical summit of the violin repertoire
• Galamian’s approach emphasizes clarity, balance, and structural logic in Bach’s polyphony
• Encourages a modern, disciplined interpretative mindset, avoiding excess Romantic distortion
• Develops complete command of intonation, bow distribution, articulation, and rhythm
• Treats each sonata and partita as both technical discipline and philosophical statement
• Ideal for violinists who value architectural thinking and musical efficiency
• A lifelong study companion that reveals new insight at every stage of artistic growth
