Description:
Johann Sebastian Bach's cycle of three sonatas and partitas BWV 1001–1006 for solo violin is one of the most famous string compositions of the 18th century and of the literature for violin in general. Using the limited resources of a single melody instrument, the composer masterfully presents the entire harmonic and polyphonic musical universe of his time.
For centuries, these works have also been played on the viola. In his version for viola solo, Chung Park draws on a careful study of the revised Urtext edition of Bach's sonatas and partitas published by Bärenreiter, edited by Peter Wollny (BA05256). Its edition offers elegant and idiomatic solutions to the technical challenges of playing these violin works on the viola.
Chung Park is a conductor, violist, and educator who received his training at the Peabody Conservatory and the University of Miami. He studied viola in Hanover with Hatto Beyerle of the Alban Berg Quartet. An experienced musician and educator, Chung Park has taught at several universities – including the University of Central Florida, Appalachian State University, and the University of Chicago – and has given masterclasses in numerous locations across the United States. In 2022, he was appointed conductor of the St. Olaf Orchestra at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
