Overview

Their original shared manuscript dating from 1720, the A minor work conforms to the standard sonata da chiesapattern of the period, while the D minor is couched in the form of a suite of dance movements, ending with the mighty Ciaconna described by Yehudi Menuhin as ‘the greatest solo structure for violin that exists’.
