During the years of instruction he received from master George Enescu, Serge Blanc collected and marked technical and interpretive indications for what Enescu called "The Himalayas of violinists" : the Sonatas & Partitas for solo violin by Johann Sebastian Bach.

This exceptional document brings together these notes which regard sonority, phrasing, tempo, fingering, and expression, the culmination of the life’s work of a master considered as one of the greatest interpreters of this work.

After having taught his own students for more than half a century, Serge Blanc wished to pass on to future generations of violinists the valuable guidance of George Enescu by collecting and commenting on his notes. Here they are, available in a single document for free download.
