Piano accompaniment backing tracks
Bach's set of six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord were written between 1720 and 1723. Unlike most baroque sonatas, the keyboard parts to these sonatas were written out by Bach himself, not just left as figured bass. The third sonata begins with a melodic Adagio over a single bass note on the keyboard. The second movement is a lively two-part invention, and the third movement is a Passacaglia based on a repeating bass line. The final movement leads directly from the third, this one using some interesting rhythmic devices.
These piano accompaniment tracks help make practising more effective and enjoyable! They are recorded by a professional accompanist and can help you keep in tune and in time, as you listen to the piano part for this work. Please scroll down for samples and details of each movement.
