This concerto demonstrates Bach's skill in reworking material across instruments, transposing the original A minor violin concerto to G minor while adapting figuration for keyboard.
This concerto is a transcription of Bach's earlier Violin Concerto in A minor (BWV 1041), transposed down a whole tone to G minor. It showcases Bach's innovative approach to adapting material, with the harpsichord part being substantially reworked rather than merely transcribed, particularly in the virtuosic finale.
