Bach: 6 Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, BWV 1001-1006

This is a very nice, reasonably priced Urtext edition with more updated scholarship on these very important works. It is unique among editions in that it does make an effort at easy page turns with fold outs. All movements except for the A minor fugue, C major fugue, and the Chaconne can be played without turning pages due to thoughtful layout and fold outs. (The only edition that allows you to play through those movements without page turns is Werner Icking's layout with rather complicated loose leaf set up, which I can no longer find since its merger with IMSLP. Even that edition requires a page turn in the middle of the Corrente in the B Minor Partita.)There are some non-standard (and almost certainly non-authentic, in my opinion) articulations put in there parenthetically, which I found were somewhat distracting, which makes this slightly less "clean" than the Barenreiter edition, but the superior layout makes this the best edition of these works overall.Unless, that is, you want fingerings and bowings, of course! This edition is free of fingerings and bowings, which, in my opinion better as most of the standard editions (Galamian, Szerying, Rostal etc) all make assumptions about violin playing that is not necessarily the same ones that Bach had.

Good edition.

バッハ無伴奏バイオリンの編曲を使用していたところ、解釈の違いで様々な弾き方があることがわかり、基準となる原典版が欲しくなりました。ヘンレ、ベーレンライターなど迷いましたが、誤植が少なそうで安価であることを条件に購入を決めました。演奏しやすいように、一部の長い楽譜は折込ページが用意されており、使いやすいと思います。解説は独英仏併記で日本語はありません。
