Violinist Joshua Bell describes the Chaconne as "
not just one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, but one of the greatest achievements of any man in history. It's a spiritually powerful piece - emotionally powerful, structurally perfect."
Composer Johannes Brahms said of the piece:
"The Chaconne is one of the most wonderful, incomprehensible pieces of music. On a single staff, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the most powerful feelings. If I were to imagine how I might have made, conceived the piece, I know for certain that the overwhelming excitement and awe would have driven me mad."
According to violinist Yehudi Menuhin, the Chaconne is
"the greatest structure for solo violin that exists."
