Bach: Viola Sonata No.1 in G, BWV 1027

Includes accompaniments for:

1. Adagio

2. Allegro, ma non tanto

3. Andante

4. Allegro moderato

It is thought that J.S. Bach composed his three viola da gamba sonatas in the late 1730s and early 1740s. They can be played either on viola or cello. The first sonata, BWV 1027 has four movements, the first two of which are connected through a half cadence. In the second movement Bach explores the melody through clever inversions and counterpoint. The relaxed Andante leads into a restless final movement with plenty of contrapuntal invention.
