| Added by magataganm, 19 Dec 2020 The Adagio (Movement 2) from Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major (BWV 1048) is interesting not that it is the slow inner movement between the two fast outer movements of a typical Baroque concerto form but that it barely exists. All Bach wrote for the middle movement of this concerto in G major was a one-measure cadence iv6 to V in E minor (or a Phrygian cadence on B, if you like). Since the revival of Bach's music and the Brandenburg Concertos in particular, this movement has caused every orchestra and conductor massive headaches! What do you do? Just play the two-chord cadence as written? A few seconds of sustained chords in between two fast movements several minutes long each? That is obviously wrong, though it is what is written. What about a brief cadenza for the first violin? That is the option chosen by Tafelmusik and many others. Some have taken a slow movement from a different piece by Bach ending with the same cadence and simply inserted it here. Although originally created for Baroque string chamber orchestra, I created this arrangement of the Adagio from the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major (BWV 1048 Mvt. 2) for Viola & Piano.
