Description
Bach's extremely popular harpsichord concerti were likely his own transcriptions of solo concerti originally composed for violin or woodwind. While the original models are often unknown, the D major Concerto BWV 1054 was written in 1738 as an arrangement of the E major Violin Concerto BWV 1042. Bach brilliantly adapted the violin part to the keyboard, creating an idiomatic and lively work. With its cheerful outer movements, BWV 1054 stands out among Bach's rich compositional output. This Henle Urtext edition includes the complete orchestral score.
