Bach Violin Music: Small Passages

So the Small Passages that I'm going to play are from two pieces, from his collection of Sonatas and Partitas. The first passage are from his Partita No. 2. It's written in D Minor and there's different movements, I'm going to play some from the Allemand Movement so as the G in the current. The other Passages are going to come from his first Sonata of, in his collection of Sonatas and Partitas, it's the Sonata No. 1 in G Minor. So what you're going to see is actually, when you are letting your scales, you're not only learning, you know, just other notes in the violin, but you're really preparing yourself for pieces at, in different exercises you're going to see even a long time from now. So learning it now will help you even more. And you might find that even though these Bach pieces are rather difficult, they're pieces that usually played on more advanced level, you might find that you actually can already play very, very small parts of them because you're based on scales.
