Bach's Sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001, opens the proceedings; Barton Pine argues in her lengthy notes (which range all the way from her girlhood experiences playing the violin in a Chicago church to detailed historical exegeses) that this piece most clearly shows Bach's links to the solo violin tradition in which he worked.

This is a special category of Classical Music from the " Baroque " era . For me it is a " Hobby " , but the majority of " Classical music " lovers would not really like it . So it is difficult to recommend . And for true lovers of this genre of music there is no need to recommend ! All amatter of taste . But worth trying it.
