Contents:

• Bach's life was "a quest for the best in his art, to be distilled in the fires of his generation." — Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians
• Bach's mastery of rhythm and harmony, his inventiveness, and his genius in composition produced some of the richest and most beautiful musical works of all time.
• These qualities are prominently evident in his early concertos, which are among the most recorded and performed works in the Baroque repertoire.
• This easy-to-read volume reprints, in full and without cuts, the seven complete concertos for solo keyboard and orchestra from the recognized Bach-Gesellschaft edition, which is still considered the primary source for Bach's music.
• Composed in Leipzig (circa 1735), these elegant works are based almost entirely on earlier surviving or lost concertos by Bach for violin and wind instruments.
