Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins BWV1043 has been one of the German violinist’s constant companions – and is still a rich learning experience with each performance

Bach’s ‘Double’ Violin Concerto has been with me for a very long time. I started learning the violin with the Suzuki method, and Book 4 contains the second violin part of the first movement.
