Brandenburg Concerto No.2 In F, BWV 1047

Authoritative Urtext edition of Johann Sebastien Bach‘s Brandenburg Concerto No.2 In F BWV1047.

The six Brandenburg Concertos BWV 1046-1051, prized jewels of the world’s musicalheritage, were written in 1721 during Bach’s appointment in Cöthen.

Of the six works, Bach originally wrote earlier versions of numbers 1 and 5 which differ not only with regard to articulation but also attimes different tones, different rhythms, instrumentation and of course form.

These Urtext publications [BA 5201-BA 5206] taken from the New Bach Edition now give performers the possibility to play these earlierversionsperhaps even along side the version known today.
