Violin Concerto in A minor (Bach)

Violin Concerto in A minor (Bach)

The Violin Concerto in A minor by J. S. Bach (BWV 1041) is a concerto in 3 movements:
* "Allegro moderato"
* "Andante" — with an ostinato style theme
* "Allegro assai"

The Clavier Concerto in G minor, BWV 1058, is an arrangement of this concerto with piano or harpsichord.

The motifs of the theme of the Allegro moderato appear in changing combinations and are separated and intensified throughout the movement.

In the andante Bach uses an insistent pattern in the bass part that is repeated constantly in the movement. He focuses the variation in the harmonic relations.

In the final movement Bach relies on bariolage figures to generate striking acoustic effects.
