about

Despite being neighbours in the dictionary of musical instruments, the vibraphone and the violin generally inhabit very different musical worlds.

The solo violin music of J. S. Bach however, despite being composed some three hundred years before the invention of the vibraphone early in the twentieth century, translates very well to the keyboard percussion family of instruments, so strong is the harmonic and melodic structure of the music.

My first encounter with this partita was some decades ago, when the last movement turned up as a grade 7 xylophone study. It sounds as fresh today as it did then.
