The Sonata No. 1 in G minor, BWV 1001 was originally composed for solo violin. Like the two other sonatas in the cycle (BWV 1003 and BWV 1005), the composition displays the same four-movement structure: an introductory movement in the style of a fantasy (Adagio) is followed by a fugue and a third movement in a different key (in this case a Siciliana in B flat major) and concludes with a virtuoso Presto. The Fugue from the sonata also exists in an arrangement for Baroque lute created by a friend of Bach, the lawyer and lutenist Johann Christian Weyrauch (1694-1771). The version performed on the current album is a blend of both versions.
