Westhoff was one of the leading violin virtuosos of his time who, in his later years, served at the Weimar court of Duke Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar along with the teenaged Johann Sebastian Bach. And he is the composer of the earliest collection of suites for the unaccompanied violin, printed in 1696. Westhoff was therefore a likely inspiration for Bach's own violin playing and his eventual sonatas and partitas for unaccompanied violin. First complete recording on period instruments.
