The CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN NO. 1 IN A MINOR, BWV 1041 was written by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) sometime around 1730. The work shows the influence of Italian composers such as Vivaldi, although this concerto stands apart from the Italian model in that the soloist and the ensemble, rather than competing against each other, collaborate to provide organic interest. This Kalmus edition was edited by Wilhelm Rust for the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe (Bach Society Edition). Instrumentation: Hpschrd: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Solo Violin in set.
