Description

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Editor: Dietrich Kilian
Arrangers: Martin Schelhaas, Andrew Manze
Format: Book, Urtext Edition
Instrumentation: 2 Violins and Piano Reduction
In 2001 Baerenreiter issued a newly engraved keyboard reduction and solo parts to this concerto based on the acclaimed New Bach Edition.
The present expanded new publication goes a step further in that it offers not only the two solo violin parts as presented in the New Bach Edition, but also two additional parts with fingerings and bowings by the baroque specialist Andrew Manze.
Manze also offers players enlightened comments (English/German) on historical performance practices dealing with how the instrument was held, fingerings, bowing, shifting, the use of open strings and much much more.
