Does anyone out there have Bach's solo violin suite No. 2?

Assuming you mean either Partita or Sonata (As I do not believe he wrote a suite for Violin), you can find the score here

Right! He wrote six suites for Cello, which are quite popular. I like them so much! All of them, but specially Nr.5.p
And violin partita Nr.2 (d-moll) contains famous Ciaccona. It is very difficult. I really love it.
Sincerely,

LOL. They are hard. But they are the greatest pieces ever written for unaccompanied violin. And, hard as they are, they are all actually playable, though some of the movements are easier than others (i.e.the non-polyphonic ones). Even an amateur should try them out.
