Description
The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six instrumental works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) written around or before 1721 to be presented to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. With the original French title “Six Concerts � plusieurs instruments” (Six Concertos for several instruments), some feature multiple solo instruments in different combinations. These works are considered among the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque period. The Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, BWV 1047, utilizes four solo instruments: Natural Trumpet in F, Flute (Recorder), Oboe, and Violin. This trumpet solo, originally written for a clarino specialist, is considered among the most difficult in the trumpet repertoire. In addition to the original version, a simplified version of the trumpet part is included. This edition is a reprint of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe edition (“Bach Society Edition”), which is a collection of the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach published in a series of 46 volumes from 1851-1899. Instrumentation: 0.0.0.0: 0.0.0.0: Str (2-2-2-1-1): Hpchd: Solo Violin, Solo Flute (Recorder), Solo Oboe, & Solo Trumpet in set.
