Johann Sebastian Bach — Violin Sonata in G major, BWV 1021
Johann Sebastian Bach — Violin Sonata in C minor, BWV 1024

J.S. Bach's G major Sonata is full of joy and lyrical energy and is contrasted with the C minor Sonata with its passionate darkness. In both of these obligato sonatas, Bach uses the two voices of the harpsichord and the one voice of the violin to converse at the highest level.
