Brandenburg Concerto No.3 In G Major BWV 1048 (Violincello I)

Authoritative Urtext edition of Johann Sebastien Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.3 In G Major BWV 1048.

The six Brandenburg Concertos BWV 1046-1051, prized jewels of the world’s musical heritage, werewritten 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 at times different tones, differentrhythms, 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 earlier versions perhaps even alongside theversionknown today.
