The Brandenburg Concertos are a collection of six instrumental works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) written around or before 1721 to be presented to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. With the original French title Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments (Six Concertos for several instruments), some feature multiple solo instruments in different combinations. These works are considered among the best orchestral compositions of the Baroque period. The well-known Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048, is the shortest of the six, and arguably closer to a concerto grosso. The second movement consists of only one measure, and modern performances have attempted to approach this is in numerous ways. This edition is a reprint of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe edition (Bach Society Edition), which is a collection of the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach published in a series of 46 volumes from 1851-1899. Instrumentation: Hpchd (continuo): Str (3Vn.3Va.3Vc.1Bs/continuo).
