A new Bach concerto for the same instrumental combination as the ever-popular Pachelbel Canon! This arrangement of a work originally for three harpsichords was made for the Academy of Ancient Music. Dispensing with the orchestral tuttis and including a new (optional) viola part, the new version will be suitable for smaller chamber ensembles with a continuo section of cello, double-bass and keyboard. The textures are very similar to those of Vivaldi's Op. 3 concertos (L'Estro armonico) and the three violin parts require a similar brilliance of technique.
