S. Bach's sonatas and partitas have been preserved as autographs; this document is one of the most beautiful handwritten testimonies of music history. It resurfaced only around 1890 and was offered for sale to Johannes Brahms, who doubted its authenticity. Today, the authenticity is proven, the original is located in the Berlin State Library and is widely spread as a facsimile. Bach noted the year 1720 on the title page. It can be assumed that the works were written during Bach's first, happy time as the "Hochfürstlich Anhalt-Cöthnischer wirklicher Capellmeister" at the court of the enlightened Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Köthen from 1717 for making music in a small circle. The pieces are considered the "Old Testament of violin music" today.

In two concerts, two significant, internationally successful violinists of our time dedicate themselves to essential parts of this compendium. The Greek-American Ariadne Daskalakis teaches in Cologne and performs worldwide with music from the Baroque to the modern era. Fabio Nieder, the unmistakable composer from Trieste residing in Romania, will contribute new pieces for both concerts. The first piece for this concert refers to the Chaconne from Bach's Partita in D minor. "It is an almost exclusively monodic composition. The sound of the violinist, alla corda, and almost articulated with the character of a hoarse speaking voice, forms a ductus where one imagines hearing words. Words, however, remain hidden in the instrumental sound," says Fabio Nieder.
