Antje Weithaas wanted to join J.S. Bach's Six Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin alongside Eugène Ysaÿe’s Six Solo Violin Sonatas. "The works by Bach are rather well-known", she remarks. "But what about the Ysaÿe sonatas" Ysaÿe is invariably shoved into the virtuoso corner but as a composer he is to be taken quite seriously!"
