Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Harpsichord Concerto, BWV 974
(after the Oboe Concerto by Allessandro Marcello)
(Part 1/2)
I. Allegro
II. Adagio
Enno Voorhorst~Guitar

Bach himself was a distinguished and frequent transcriber of his own compositions and those of others. For the harpsichord he arranged sixteen concertos drawn from various sources during his years in Weimar. One of the best known of these is his transcriptions of an oboe concerto by the Venetian composer Allessandro Marcello as the concerto in D minor, BWV 974.
This and and the six Vivaldi concertos transcribed show Bach's interest in the Venetian solo concerto of the period, an interest later demonstrated in the concertos he would write in Cöthen.
The quicker outer movements Bach wrote for his own violin concertos.

  • This is taken directly from the Marcello concerto, not the Bach transcription for keyboard. Compare the scores, Bach adds a lot more counterpoint.

  • Bach ... el nombre de Bach .. siempre en se escuchará tu música, para los grandes, para los ángeles, para el señor de los cielos nuestro señor, fuiste uno de los pocos de los cuales rompiste la mortalidad del tiempo con tus obras, pues ellas ¡nunca morirán!
