Bach's existence was characterized by "a quest for all that was best in his art to refine it in the fire of his genius," as noted in Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. His exceptional command of rhythm and harmony, along with his inventive spirit and compositional brilliance, resulted in some of the most profound and exquisite music ever created. These attributes are particularly prominent in his early concerti, which rank among the most frequently recorded and performed pieces within the baroque canon.

ne of the key roles that Bach undertook during his tenure in Leipzig was his leadership of the local collegium musicum from 1729 to 1741. This organization was a voluntary assembly of professional musicians and university students who held regular public concerts on a weekly basis. For these well-attended events, Bach composed the six concertos featured in this collection. These works are historically significant as they represent some of the earliest keyboard concertos ever created, and they remain subjects of study and performance due to their exceptional and vibrant musical characteristics.
