The four works by Johann Sebastian Bach on this recording are the first in a cycle of six “sonatas” usually referred to as being “for obbligato harpsichord and violin” (BWV 1014–1019). In truth, however, they are essentially trio sonatas, a genre that was to the Baroque period what the string quartet would be to the Classical—a crucible for formal and stylistic experimentation.
Some 50 years after their composition, these “trios” for harpsichord and violin were still regarded as being “among the best compositions my father produced” by the most famous of Bach’s sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel. Today, many see this cycle as a turning point in the history of chamber music, with Bach bringing the trio sonata to a point of completion while simultaneously paving the way toward the future: the sonata for soloist and keyboard.
