Abstract
The purpose of this lecture document is to present a four-year course of study,
using the Sonatas and Partitas, BWV 1001-1006 by Johann Sebastian Bach, for an
entering first-year college student. Even though the Sonatas and Partitas by Bach have
been included in college auditions as repertoire to present the student’s musicality and
technique as a solo violinist without any accompaniment, many students have little
experience with this literature. In the proposed course of study, three case studies (the
Allemanda in D Minor, the Gavotte en Rondeau in E Major, and the Fuga in G Minor) of
the Sonatas and Partitas are presented in two different approaches – the historically
informed performance practice (HPP) and the mainstream performance practice (MSP).
The list of references for the first-year student in each approach is included.
