The Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig,Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt,in 1721. The original French title is Six Concerts Avec plusieurs instruments,meaning "Six Concertos for several instruments". Some of the pieces feature several solo instruments in combination. They are widely regarded as some of the greatest orchestral compositions of the Baroque era.

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the late Baroque period. He is known for his prolific authorship of music across a variety of instruments and forms,including;orchestral music such as the Brandenburg Concertos;solo instrumental works such as the cello suites and sonatas and partitas for solo violin;keyboard works such as the Goldberg Variations and The Well-Tempered Clavier;organ works such as the Schubler Chorales and the Toccata and Fugue in D minor;and choral works such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival,he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music.
The keyboard concertos,BWV 1052–1065,are concertos for harpsichord,strings and continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach. There are seven complete concertos for a single harpsichord,three concertos for two harpsichords,two concertos for three harpsichords,and one concerto for four harpsichords. Two other concertos include solo harpsichord parts:the concerto BWV 1044,which has solo parts for harpsichord,violin and flute,and Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major,with the same scoring. In addition,there is a nine-bar concerto fragment for harpsichord which adds an oboe to the strings and continuo.
Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar was a German prince,son by his second marriage of Johann Ernst III,Duke of Saxe-Weimar. Despite his early death he is remembered as a collector and commissioner of music and as a composer,some of whose concertos were arranged for harpsichord or organ by Johann Sebastian Bach,who was court organist in Weimar at the time.
The concerto for two harpsichords in C minor,BWV 1060,is a concerto for two harpsichords and string orchestra by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is likely to have originated in the second half of the 1730s as an arrangement of an earlier concerto,also in C minor,for oboe and violin. That conjectural original version of the concerto,which may have been composed in Bach's Köthen years (1717–1723),is lost,but has been reconstructed in several versions known as BWV 1060R.
Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte,BWV 174,is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed the cantata in Leipzig for the second day of Pentecost and first performed it on 6 June 1729.
The six sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord BWV 1014–1019 by Johann Sebastian Bach are works in trio sonata form,with the two upper parts in the harpsichord and violin over a bass line supplied by the harpsichord and an optional viola da gamba. Unlike baroque sonatas for solo instrument and continuo,where the realisation of the figured bass was left to the discretion of the performer,the keyboard part in the sonatas was almost entirely specified by Bach. They were probably mostly composed during Bach's final years in Cöthen between 1720 and 1723,before he moved to Leipzig. The extant sources for the collection span the whole of Bach's period in Leipzig,during which time he continued to make changes to the score.
The sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord,BWV 1027–1029,are three sonatas composed by Johann Sebastian Bach for viola da gamba and harpsichord. They probably date from the late 1730s and early 1740s.
The organ sonatas,BWV 525–530 by Johann Sebastian Bach are a collection of six sonatas in trio sonata form. Each of the sonatas has three movements,with three independent parts in the two manuals and obbligato pedal. The collection was put together in Leipzig in the late 1720s and contained reworkings of prior compositions by Bach from earlier cantatas,organ works and chamber music as well as some newly composed movements. The sixth sonata,BWV 530,is the only one for which all three movements were specially composed for the collection. When played on an organ,the second manual part is often played an octave lower on the keyboard with appropriate registration. Commentators have suggested that the collection might partly have been intended for private study to perfect organ technique,some pointing out that its compass allows it to be played on a pedal clavichord. The collection of sonatas is generally regarded as one of Bach's masterpieces for organ. The sonatas are also considered to be amongst his most difficult compositions for the instrument.
The concerto transcriptions of Johann Sebastian Bach date from his second period at the court in Weimar (1708–1717). Bach transcribed for organ and harpsichord a number of Italian and Italianate concertos,mainly by Antonio Vivaldi,but with others by Alessandro Marcello,Benedetto Marcello,Georg Philipp Telemann and the musically talented Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar. It is thought that most of the transcriptions were probably made in 1713–1714. Their publication by C.F. Peters in the 1850s and by Breitkopf &Härtel in the 1890s played a decisive role in the Vivaldi revival of the twentieth century.
The organ concertos of Johann Sebastian Bach are solo works for organ,transcribed and reworked from instrumental concertos originally composed by Antonio Vivaldi and the musically talented Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar. While there is no doubt about the authenticity of BWV 592–596,the sixth concerto BWV 597 is now probably considered to be spurious. Composed during Bach's second period at the court in Weimar (1708–1717),the concertos can be dated more precisely to 1713–1714.
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote his fifth Brandenburg Concerto,BWV 1050.2,for harpsichord,flute and violin as soloists,and an orchestral accompaniment consisting of strings and continuo. An early version of the concerto,BWV 1050.1,originated in the late 1710s. On 24 March 1721 Bach dedicated the final form of the concerto to Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg.
The Harpsichord Concerto in E major,BWV 1053,is a concerto for harpsichord and string orchestra by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is the second of Bach's keyboard concerto composed in 1738,scored for keyboard and baroque string orchestra. The movements were reworkings of parts of two of Bach's church cantatas composed in 1726:the solo obbligato organ played the sinfonias for the two fast movements;and the remaining alto aria provided the slow movement.
The Harpsichord Concerto in D minor,BWV 1052,is a concerto for harpsichord and Baroque string orchestra by Johann Sebastian Bach. In three movements,marked Allegro,Adagio and Allegro,it is the first of Bach's harpsichord concertos,BWV 1052–1065.
Grosso mogul,also Il grosso mogul,or capitalised [Il] Grosso Mogul,RV 208,is a violin concerto in D major by Antonio Vivaldi. The concerto,in three movements,is an early work by the Venetian composer. Around the mid-1710s Johann Sebastian Bach transcribed the concerto for organ,BWV 594,in C major. A simplified version of the violin concerto,RV 208a,without the elaborated cadenzas that appear in manuscript versions of RV 208,and with a different middle movement,was published around 1720 in Amsterdam as concerto #11 of Vivaldi's Op. 7.
