The violin was one of Bach’s favourite instruments and inspired his most
lyrical outpourings. We know he was greatly influenced by the Italian
masters whose work he discovered during his Weimar years – by the power
of Frescobaldi, the melodic flexibility of Corelli, the sunny grace of
Vivaldi – but he developed his own wonderful artistry in writing music
of polyphonic density for the violin and “playing” with its sound
palette. His deep understanding of the instrument clearly enabled him to
exploit its full potential and to write as well as perform music of the
utmost virtuosity.
With all my best thanks !!!!!! Beautiful work.
