The Six Sonatas for Violin and Obligato Harpsichord, BWV 1014-1019:

The “Sei Sounate à Cembalo certato è Violino Solo”, as they are called in the earliest authentic source, are Bach’s most important chamber music cycle, in a sense his chamber music legacy to posterity. They were the first violin sonatas in music history in which the keyboard instrument broke away from its role as chordal accompaniment in basso continuo and became an equal partner to the violin. The imagination with which Bach explored the compositional possibilities of this constellation, the formal perfection of each individual sonata and their very specific expressive world make these pieces the first “classical” duo sonatas in the violin repertoire.

In 1709, when Bach had been employed as court organist in Weimar for just one year, he was visited by a young Franconian violin virtuoso who was travelling from Ansbach to Leipzig to study: Johann Georg Pisendel. The two probably played music together and copied a double concerto for two violins and strings by their mutual friend Telemann for this purpose. This sheet music is the first evidence of a friendship that was to last until Bach's death and was confirmed posthumously by Pisendel (‘I know well who the old Bach was,’ he wrote to Telemann in 1751).
