Concerto for Harpsichord in G minor, BWV 1058 [Concerto for Violin No. 1 in A minor, BWV 1041 - composer's arrangement]: String Orchestra, Solo Keyboard with Ensemble, Solo Part

The CONCERTO FOR HARPSICHORD NO. 7 IN G MINOR, BWV 1058, is a transcription by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) from his Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041. Composed during the 1730s for one of his coffee house concerts, it is scored a whole step lower to fit the range of the harpsichord. The concerto stands apart from the Italian model in that the soloist and the ensemble, rather than competing against each other, collaborate to provide organic interest. This Kalmus edition was edited by Wilhelm Rust for the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe (Bach Society Edition). Instrumentation: Solo Harpsichord: Str (2.2.2.1.1 in set).
