Concerto in D Minor BWV 1052 for Violin and Strings. Reconstruction from the Harpsichord version

SKU: HH.HH505-FSP

ISBN 9790708185307.

This new reconstruction by Fabrizio Ammetto, known within the field of late baroque music equally as a violinist and a scholar, reaffirms convincingly the concerto’s status as a violin concerto by close examination and comparison of the five surviving sources containing its material in whole or part and careful attention towards the idiomatic shaping of the solo violin part, which includes full-length versions of the cadenzas for the outer movements.

BWV 188 reconstructed in its entirety for the first time The project of publishing Bach's cantatas in a material that can be purchased completely continues to grow with a new edition of a work that made particular demands on the editor. For Breitkopf, the renowned Bach scholar Werner Breig had already brought out new editions of the well-known B-minor Suite (PB/OB 5397, EB 8737) and of the A-minor Suite on which it was based, but now reconstructed for violin, strings and basso continuo (PB/OB 5398). His interest was particularly sparked by the sinfonia, which has been transmitted in an extremely rudimentary fashion. Step by step, Breig reconstructs the entire introductory movement from the final virtuoso organ passage and the da capo indication with corresponding musical incipit. His model for the reconstruction, which was carried out with enormous stylistic authenticity, is an early D-minor violin concerto which is no longer extant in this form, but which Bach later reworked into the Harpsichord Concerto BWV 1052. Performers will enjoy a Bach cantata that is now restored in its entirety for the first time.

The cantata Ich habe meine Zuversicht BWV 188 comes from the so-called Picander cycle and was written for the 21st Sunday after Trinity in 1728 or 1729. There are some particular problems associated with its transmission. The original set of parts was lost, and the manuscript score only survives in fragmentary form. Probably as early as the 18th century the score was divided up into numerous separate parts in order to make more money, or to be able to provide as many Bach relics as possible for posterity. The first movement, an instrumental sinfonia, is missing apart from the final bars. We simply know that this sinfonia is based on the 3rd movement of the Harpsichord Concerto BWV 1052 in D minor and that instead of the harpsichord, an obbligato organ was envisaged. Its successful reconstruction by the baroque specialist and organist Pieter Dirksen now makes it possible to perform the cantata again complete with the introductory sinfonia. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3118800.
