An incomplete harpsichord concerto reconstructed using movements from Cantata BWV 35, reflecting Bach's reuse of material across sacred and secular works.
BWV 1059 is a fascinating fragment of a harpsichord concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. The existing material consists of just the first 10 measures of the first movement. Scholars believe this concerto is likely a reworking of a lost oboe concerto, as its material was later reused by Bach in movements of his Cantata BWV 35. The key of D minor and the concerto's structure are typical of Bach's mature instrumental style from his time in Leipzig.
