In 1774, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach remarked of his father's sonatas for violin and harpsichord that they were still very enjoyable "although more than 50 years old". In his day, it was certainly not taken for granted that music would still be played half a century later. As Carl Philipp's comment suggests, Bach probably wrote these sonatas during his time in Köthen, around 1717-1723. However, he continued to refine them throughout his life: a clear sign that he, too, considered them a success.

Another thing that helped to maintain the appeal of these sonatas was their instrumentation. Instead of the trio sonatas for two violins and basso continuo that were popular at the beginning of the 18th century (e.g. Corelli), these sonatas were for keyboard instrument and one violin. They were therefore suitable for the period of Carl Philipp and later (see Mozart's sonatas for piano and violin, for example). In some movements, however, the older trio sonata form is still just below the surface. In the second movement of this sonata, one could imagine the notes of the right hand being played on a second violin.

Carl Philipp wrote that his father's sonatas contained 'some adagios that could not be written more melodiously today'. And indeed, it is often the slower movements that move us most directly (both in Carl Philipp's day and today). This sonata is a case in point. The first movement is actually a melancholy aria for violin - and it doesn't get much more 'singable' than that. (Source: Bach Vereinigung)

【古典音樂小站】巴赫：D小調小提琴與大鍵琴奏鳴曲，BWV 1018。這首美麗的樂曲由約瑟夫·蘇克和祖贊娜·魯茲科娃演奏。它擁有創作共用授權（PDM 1.0 DEED，公共領域標記1.0通用）並通過www.musopen.org提供。

在1774年，卡爾·菲利普·埃馬努埃爾·巴赫評論他父親的小提琴與大鍵琴奏鳴曲時說，儘管這些作品已經有50多年的歷史，但仍然非常令人愉悅。在他的時代，音樂能夠在半個世紀後仍然被演奏並不是理所當然的。正如卡爾·菲利普的評論所暗示的，巴赫可能是在他在科騰的時期，大約在1717至1723年間創作了這些奏鳴曲。然而，他在有生之年不斷地完善它們：這清楚地表明他也認為這些作品是成功的。

這些奏鳴曲吸引力的另一個因素是它們的編制。與18世紀初流行的兩把小提琴和低音持續伴奏的三重奏奏鳴曲（例如，科雷利的作品）不同，這些奏鳴曲是為鍵盤樂器和一把小提琴而作。因此，它們適合於卡爾·菲利普的時代以及之後的時期（例如，看看莫扎特的鋼琴與小提琴奏鳴曲）。然而，在某些樂章中，舊的三重奏奏鳴曲形式仍然隱約可見。在這首奏鳴曲的第二樂章中，人們可以想像右手的音符被一把第二小提琴演奏。

卡爾·菲利普寫道，他父親的奏鳴曲中包含了「一些至今無法寫得更旋律性的慢板」。的確，通常是較慢的樂章最直接地感動我們（無論是在卡爾·菲利普的時代還是今天）。這首奏鳴曲就是一個例證。第一樂章實際上是一首小提琴的憂鬱詠嘆調——它的「可歌性」不會再多了。（來源：巴赫協會）
