It seems like this started out as a violin concerto, then slowly turned into harpsichord. The cadenza in this movement seems so well-suited to violin, yet the third mvt cadenza is clearly not.
@wcbroccoli Was BWV 146 based on "the lost violin concerto" or was it visa vera? I know the harpsicord concerto version was the last one composed (or transcribed I guess).
@RobertoArceCorretjer This violin version is merely an educated guess as to what the original concerto MIGHT have been. We can't know, for example, how Bach might have cut back on the accompaniment in the keyboard version so as to balance better with the harpsichord. And the harpsichord version surely transformed the solo violin passages into an idiom better suited to the keyboard. E.g., compare Brandenburg Concerto #4 (BWV 1049) with Bach's transcription BWV 1057.
@zenodude2000 This is the version by the Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin. It's on Harmonia Mundi, and you can get it on Amazon or on iTunes. I highly recommend this recording; it's a great period instrument recording.
I love this peace

I mistook it for a CPE at first, so detailed and lively and expressive. The background image matches the music perfectly.
