Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto No. 7 in G minor, BWV 1058
Probably Bach’s first attempt at writing out a full harpsichord concerto, this is a transcription of the violin concerto in A minor, BWV 1041, one whole tone lower to fit the harpsichord’s range.
There are three movements. With the starting times in the video:
- 01:03 Allegro
- 04:57 Andante
- 10:47 Allegro assai
