J. S. Bach - Violin/Keyboard Concerto in A (G) minor, BWV 1041/1058 (Transcribed for Cello and Strings)

Cellists are often drawn to Bach’s violin works, and his A minor Violin Concerto, BWV 1041, is especially well suited to transcription for the cello. Its dark character, clear structure, and expressive intensity transfer naturally to the lower instrument.

This arrangement transposes the concerto to G minor, following the key of Bach’s own keyboard version of the work, BWV 1058. The transposition allows the solo part to lie more naturally on the cello while preserving the character and dramatic profile of the original concerto.

This set includes the full score, solo cello part, and orchestra parts. It is suitable for advanced students, college ensembles, chamber orchestras, and cellists looking for a substantial Bach concerto transcription.
