Johann Sebastian Bach
COMPLETE CONCERTI
FOR SOLO KEYBOARD
AND ORCHESTRA
in Full Score
Bach's life was "a searching for all that was best in his art to refine it in the
fire of his genius."
—GROVE'S DICTIONARY OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Bach's mastery of rhythm and harmony, inventiveness, and genius for composition
produced some of the richest and most beautiful music of all time. Those qualities are strikingly evident in his early concerti, which are among the most recorded and performed works in the Baroque repertoire.
This easy-to-read volume reprints, complete and unabridged, the master's seven
complete concerti for solo keyboard and orchestra from the renowned
Bach-Gesellschaft edition, still considered the primary source for Bach's music.
Composed in Leipzig (c. 1735), these elegant works are almost completely based
on earlier extant or lost concerti by Bach for violin and wind instruments.
The concerti reproduced here in full score include:
Concerto in D Minor (BWV 1052)
Concerto in E Major (BWV 1053)
Concerto in D Major (BWV 1054)
Concerto in A Major (BWV 1055)
Concerto in F Minor (BWV 1056)
Concerto in F Major (BWV 1057)
Concerto in G Minor (BWV 1058)
Musicians, students, and Bach devotees will applaud this clearly printed,
wonder-fully affordable playing edition of classic compositions by the supreme
master of the Baroque.
