JS Bach: 6 Sonatas and Partitas BWV 1001-1006 for Solo Violin, edited by Ivan Galamian

I'm a violin student and i needed this book specially because i'm studying partita 3 and let me tell you that this book is totally worth it, from start the shipping was really fast, took a week to the package to be right in front on my door in ecuador, besides that the paperback is really good, the prints are nice and as clear as you can get and as a bonus it comes with a copy of the original manuscript by J.S Bach, i'm really happy with this book :,)

Good music to have. Includes the original manuscript

This is a classic so I’m speaking of the publishing and not the content. I mean, what else is there to say about Bach? This edition is clearly printed and easy to read. The paper has a substantial feel and is off-white to prevent eye strain. Most importantly, the binding lays open easily on the stand and does not try to close while you are playing it. This is a quality publisher.

It’s something every violinist should have if they are pursuing violin. And you have to play these in college as well. I wish the binding was spiraled. We just make copies and work with those.

The fingering and the phrasing helps a lot and the take is a lot more comprehensive than other editions. It makes the most sense and the facsimile is just a treasure in itself. This book is something that I would refer to for the rest of my life which is something that I cannot say for the edition that I had used when it was first introduced to me. What's great is that this edition is not imposing on its idea of interpretation.
