Johannes
Umbreit (piano
reduction); Michael
Schneidt (fingering) Two
copies needed for
performance It is almost
impossible to tell from
listening to them that
Bach's extremely popular
concerti for harpsichord
were probably his own
transcriptions of solo
concerti which had
originally been composed
for violin or a woodwind
instrument. The outer
movements of the second
concerto, in E major,
probably written around
1738, sparkle with joy,
while the expressive
melodic lines of the
middle movement, the
Siciliano in C-sharp
minor, transport the
listener to the realm of
his Passion music. G.
Henle Publishers presents
this repertoire standard
in an Urtext edition with
an extensive commentary.
The study edition (HN
7381) features the
complete orchestral
score; the piano
reduction (HN 1381)
contains the solo part as
well as a very playable
piano reduction of the
score prepared by
Johannes Umbreit for
practical use.
