Description

The editor of an Urtext edition will find that Bach’s A minor violin concerto BWV 1041 poses minimal challenges, as there are well-preserved original parts from Bach’s time in Köthen or early Leipzig. In addition to providing a dependable musical text, the Henle edition excels in its layout; the inclusion of a foldout solo part facilitates easy page turning, addressing a previous difficulty due to the incessant sixteenth notes in the opening movement. This innovative feature has been emulated by other publishers. Furthermore, the piano reduction offered by Henle for all three of Bach’s violin concertos can be played directly from the score with ease, even by amateur musicians.
