These three pieces can serve perfectly well as a suite of sonatas - a coherent but varied whole - although in their original form they are unrelated. The adaptations have been kept to a minimum so that the true Bach is still abundantly present in the music. Contains: Prelude XXII from The Well-Tempered Clavier • Adagio (originally from the Sonata for violin and obbligato harpsichord in B minor BWV 1014) • Allegro from the Sonata for viola da gamba and harpsichord BWV 1028.

Students of the recorder will learn and enjoy playing these 36 pieces of various characters together. They will start a journey across the centuries starting with Heinrich Isaac and Josquin Desprès (15th/16th century) until Johann Sebastian Bach (18th century).
