History[edit]
Bach may have written the concerto between 1717 and 1723 when he was the Kapellmeister at the court of Anhalt-Köthen, Germany,[2] though the work's surviving performance materials were created for the concert series that Bach ran as the Director of the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig and are dated c. 1730–31.[3] Later in 1739, in Leipzig, he created an arrangement for two harpsichords, transposed into C minor, BWV 1062.[2]
Structure[edit]
The concerto is characterized by the subtle yet expressive relationship between the violins throughout the work.[citation needed] In addition to the two soloists, the concerto is scored for strings and basso continuo.[citation needed] The musical structure of this piece uses fugal imitation and much counterpoint.[citation needed]
The concerto comprises three movements:[citation needed]
- Vivace
Largo ma non tanto
- Allegro
