The
concertos in A minor, B
flat major and A major
were first written as
violoncello concertos
between 1750 and 1753.
They thus rank among the
very first concertos for
solo cello in Germany.
The A minor Concerto,
composed in 1750, is
performed quite
frequently today. C. P.
E. Bach most likely wrote
the Concerto in B flat
major Wq. 171 as the last
of the little work group
in 1753 in Potsdam, at
the court of King
Frederick the Great. He
reworked the composition
for flute and harpsichord
shortly thereafter.
Various sources prove
that copies of the work
had made it known quite
extensively in the second
half of the 18th century.
In his new Urtext
edition, Ulrich Leisinger
bases himself on two
reliable manuscripts.
