Johann Sebastian Bach - Concerto for Violin and Oboe, BWV 1060R (1736)

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 - 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music 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 of all 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.
While the extant 18th-century manuscripts present the concerto in a form for two harpsichords and strings, the assumption that it originated as concerto for violin and oboe has become widely accepted since the late 19th century. The precise date for this earlier concerto is unknown, but it is believed to have been in existence from the early 1720s. The version for two harpsichords likely originated in or around 1736. A broader estimate for the time of origin of the version for two harpsichords is 1735-1740.
The subtle and masterful way in which the solo instruments blend with the orchestra marks this out as one of the most mature works of Bach's years at Köthen.

Simply a joy to listen. The type of music that you will never get bored no matter how many times you listen to it!

With J.S., western music reaches the highest expression possible at all levels. The most ingenious, emotionally and intellectually driven assembly of notes ever heard and ever to be heard.

I've heard this piec so many times as other from Bach. And it is always the same awe to such beauty. Heavenly music.

[@ChristopherSaraga]

I love Bach. Thanks for sharing and helping put my brainwaves back to normal :)

[@gervaisfrykman266]

How satisfying that the orchestra plays arco throughout in the slow movement. The pizzicato marking is assumed to belong to the harpsichords version.

This can also be played on 2 Violins or on 2 5 String Cellos (Solo parts an Octave Lower than written througout).

Where can I get the sheet music??????

[@surjang7]

why the B minor??? Why are all recordings of this beautiful piece in a different pitch?? the sheets are in C minor even in this video.

[@littlewishy6432]

It's called baroque tuning, you should expect that in any traditional Bach recording

[@surjang7]

@@littlewishy6432 OK then I still dont understand other recordings. The same piece is in D minor and even in B flat minor in other videos. Are those all only different tunings or they transponed the sheets? I cant tell by their hands, there is no live video or you simply cant see their hands. In my opinion they simply transponed so its easier to play. D minor on a violin is much easier than C minor

Oboe: "Déjate llevar por mí, amor."

[@artw651]

that's not right, i mean, the first note in sheet is an G major but sounds like an F#

[@artw651]

it's b minor, not c sharp

[@SteveofArms]

Baroque tuning. A=415hz instead of 440, which means each pitch sounds a half step lower.

[@juliano7056]

I might be mistaken, buy to me the pitch in this recording sounds A 400 Hz or even 390 Hz.

[@xcruxifiedx3477]

@@juliano7056 400 and 390 are way too low. it's 415

[@justarainasunshine]

It’s definitely not right 😂
