So Johann Sebastian Bach is a composer who wrote a wide range of pieces. This seventeenth century composer, he lived from 1685 to 1750. He wrote a lot of arrangements for different types of instruments. Even for the violin he wrote different types of pieces. The Simpostat I'm going to play are from a collection of pieces, which is Sonatas and Partitas. He also wrote solo music for, for violin, he wrote Chamber music for violin and other instruments, usually with two violins, a viola, a cello, as well as flute. He wrote some more casual pieces, but really, his Sonatas and Partitas are a good tool, they're a good, they're a good part of your repertoire to have and you usually don't encounter them until a long way down the line. But, like I said, I just wanted to play for you some small passages because Bach is really a composer that you can use to practice etudes.
