Some may be surprised to hear these sonatas accompanied by the organ. This is to forget that they belong to the tradition of the Italian sonata "à trois", in particular the sonata da chiesa. The latter appeared in Italy in the second third of the 17th century, alternating slow and fast movements. Contrary to the sonata de camera, all its tempi are pure music, of which the organ has been the servant knight for a great century: little or no choreographic movements in this art which speaks to the intelligence as much as to the heart.

The organ is before the harpsichord a church instrument. What could be more natural than to ask it to dialogue with a violin in the holy place in a sonata? Why should we exclude from the sanctuary this primitive form of all instrumental music, which many organists have been cultivating on their instruments since the beginning of the 17th century (T. Merula) and still at the time when Bach took up the pen? If the sonata enters the church through the organ alone, it is obvious that this organ has every right to converse with a violin, the day Italians and Germans decide to introduce the bowed instrument into the church or the temple. Moreover, all organists at that time were also excellent harpsichordists.

For the discerning discophile, it will become apparent that if the organ serves with dilection a polyphonic language which the 6 Bach Sonatas claim, it is also the instrument of color. Rich in varied timbres, its palette allows at every moment the highlighting of a tasty detail of counterpoint... Moreover, the static quality of the sound establishes a more judicious contrast with the violin than the harpsichord could ever do. And the opposition is greater between the grazed string, humanized by the bow, and the immutable perennity of a cornet or crumhorn speaking under constant pressure. The scintillating mutations of the organ are echoed by the nervous and brilliant replicas of a violin rich in harmonics. And if the monodic instrument allows itself to reverie, what could be more melodic than these "backgrounds", these muffled sonorities to envelop the strings in an additional halo? If the possibilities of registration - of instrumentation - are unlimited in the world of the pipe, is there not a reason to think that in contact with it, Bach's violin acquires a new expression, stimulated as it is by this multiple companion, sometimes biting, sometimes spiritual, sometimes poetic, sometimes mysterious..
