Johann Sebastian Bach – Violin Concerto #1 In A Minor, BWV 1041

Johann Sebastian Bach – Violin Concerto #1 In A Minor, BWV 1041 – Allegro Moderato – Salvatore Accardo: Chamber Orchestra Of Europe

The Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041, is a violin concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. It shows the influence of Italian composers such as Bach’s older contemporary Vivaldi. Bach is known to have studied Vivaldi’s music from around 1714 when he was working at Weimar. Italian influence can be seen in keyboard music he composed around that time. However, the date of the concerto is the subject of dispute as the original score has not survived.
The concerto was published for the first time in 1852. In the 1870s Wilhelm Rust edited it for publication in the first complete edition of Bach’s works.
