BWV 1044, incidentally, is a triple concerto for flute, violin and harpsichord, which makes it genetically closer, in fact, to the Brandenburg Concertos than the orthodox violin concerto.
The A minor concerto BWV 1041, is infectious in its spontaniety, so much so that one almost forgets that this is, to begin with, in the minor mode, which is more often associated with pathos and gloom and melancholy.
The soloists are placed rather close to the ensemble, especially in the double concerto, but not to the point of detraction.

 Bach - segment 8
Bach's musical style is so familiar to most music lovers that we often run the risk of assuming that it was "his," almost like a genetic trait.
Vivaldi's contribution to concerto form, and to eighteenth-century music in general, is to have attained a new level of clarity and drama in large-scale instrumental music.
In the famous Concerto for two violins in D minor, with its serenely lilting second movement, notice the way in which fragments of the ritornello have a way of creeping into and enriching the solo sections of the outer movements.

 Notes on Violin Concerto in E major, BWV 1042 (1717)
In these polyphonic landmarks of the violin repertoire, Bach demonstrates his familiarity with the effects that can be attained on the violin, often skirting the edge of the possible.
However, of those that remain, Bach’s first biographer, Forkel, wrote that “One can never say enough of their beauty.” Among the violin works composed at Köthen that survive are: The E-major Violin concerto (1717), the Double concerto for two violins, and a concerto for violin and oboe.
Such is the case with Keyboard Concerto #3 (BWV 1054), which is simply a transcription of the violin concerto in E major, BWV 1042.

 JS Bach: Double Violin Concerto in D minor
Bach was the master of organ, so for this concerto the form is based on fugue or canon.
There will be another part where the second violin having its solo part, but altogether the two violins are actually playing along with each other, taking turns to lead the melody.
While for the first movement the two violins are complimenting and competing against each other at the same time, in this movement, the duet is so perfectly balanced that the both of the instruments are singing in harmony with every note.

 Lara St. John - Bach Concertos CD
St. John is joined by her brother Scott, professor of violin at the University of Toronto, in the Double Concerto, and their stylistic unity is a real plus.
Her playing of the E major Concerto’s finale, for example, is joyous and balletic - a far cry from Kennedy’s jagged account.
Ballet also comes to mind in the opening movement of the Double Concerto, as St John and her brother Scott bound through the intricately entwined solo parts like dancers leaping in and out of each other’s arms.

 Happy Birthday, Johann Sebastian Bach
In recognition of Bach's birthday, I've chosen to concentrate on his violin concertos, works filled with enormous feeling and exuberance of spirit with movements emerging out of the darkest depths of winter into worlds bubbling over with optimism, freshness, youthful zeal: life.
Bach seems to be proposing two kinds of order: the divine and human, the perfect and the imperfect.
On Harmonia Mundi's J.S. Bach: Solo and Double Violin Concertos, we encounter two of the world's finest period instrument violinists, Andrew Manze and Rachel Podger of England, performing German Baroque music that was inspired by the Italian concerto tradition headed by Antonio Vivaldi and Tomaso Albinoni.

 Bach Choir of Bethlehem
Bach wrote two concertos for solo violin and orchestra, one in a minor, and this one, in E major.
Bach wrote several concertos in both Weimar and Cöthen, including some harpsichord concertos, and it is possible that he wrote even more concertos for solo violin, though only these two survive.
The solo violin concertos show Bach’s affinity for the Italian concerto design: a three-movement scheme, fast-slow-fast; with frequent use of an orchestral ritornello.

 Violin concerto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A violin concerto is a concerto for solo violin (occasionally, two or more violins) and instrumental ensemble, customarily orchestra.
Traditionally a three-movement work, the violin concerto has been structured in four movements by a number of modern composers, including Dmitri Shostakovich, Igor Stravinsky, and Alban Berg (in the latter, the first two and last two movements are connected, with the only break coming between the second and third).
In some violin concertos, especially from the Baroque and modern eras, the violin (or group of violins) is accompanied by a chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra—for instance, Vivaldi's L'estro armonico, originally scored for four violins, two violas, cello, and continuo, and Allan Pettersson's first concerto, for violin and string quartet.

 ***TOP SECRET*** TEACHING POINTS FOR SUZUKI VIOLIN TEACHERS
Suzuki's violin teaching points are truly remarkable contributions to classical violin pedagogy, and reflect his ingenious approach to the mastery of, what are after all, highly demanding skills.
Ironically, while he made it a point to instruct Suzuki violin teachers to master these and to teach them to their students, critical teaching points are virtually "top secret", in the sense that they are rarely taught or espoused by Suzuki violin teachers.
As a consequence, "Suzuki violin" and the "Suzuki Violin Method", as Suzuki himself defined and practiced it, is taught without the benefit of technical points that are key to his teachings.

One of the most unique aspects of this disc is the inclusion of the G minor Violin Concerto, thought to be a reconstruction of an earlier work for oboe and harpsichord.
The 'Double' shines forth in the magnetic interplay between Perlman and Zuckerman; the friendly competition between the two gives the piece a "dueling fiddles" feel that is only surpassed by Andrew Manze's rollicking account.
Perlman's reading of the 'Double' with Isaac Stern on Sony's Masterworks series is superior in many respects, but this recording is certainly a bargain, and the love both soloists have for this music is palpable throughout.

 Double Violin Concerto (Bach) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, BWV 1043, is perhaps one of the most famous works by J.S. Bach and considered among the best examples of the work of the late Baroque period.
He wrote it in Liepzig sometime between 1730 and 1731, most probably for the Liepzig collegium musicum, of which he was the director.
The concerto is characterized by the subtle yet expressive relationship between the violins throughout the work.

Bach`s "Air On The G String" is a nice, soothing piece that you can listen too while you cook.
As far as I have seen, solo guitar arrangements of Beethoven`s "Fur Elise" and Bach`s "Jesu" come in two categories: either they are targeted for beginners and are rather inadequate, or they are quite extraordinary, but require a Christopher Parkening or a John Williams to play them.
The final movement of Mendelssohn`s monumental "Violin Concerto In E Minor" is mostly in E major and is rather light and exuberant in tone -- not what one would usually think of for heavy metal.

The other favorite is the 1953 Bach Double Concerto with Yehudi Menuhin, a performance of controlled poise and elegance, in which both players seem equally admiring of each other’s sound.
The liner notes indicate that both conductor and orchestra remain unknown, and that as many as 400 edits (by Danilo Prefumo) were required, as well as de-noising processes, to restore a working degree of textural clarity to the sound from the worn discs.

The viola part is broadly similar to the original violin part though the bass part has, by necessity, been significantly altered.
This well-presented score for double bass with violin or viola by Frank Proto was published in 1978.
The first invention, for example, is taken from C to G Major, taking into account bass transposition (sounding and octave lower than printed) to achieve the correct one-octave spacing between the hands on the piano.

 J.S. Bach Books, Music
Beginning with simple devices such as triads to represent the trinity, Chafe describes Bach's use of more subtle musical ideas such ascending or descending lines and harmonies to represent, for example, God's incarnation (descent to earth) and mankind's redemption (ascent to heaven).
Bach's use of numerology, for example in his use of extended musical patterns repeated ten times to represent the Ten Commandments, strongly belies the notion that this composer was uncalculating.
While the musical power of Bach's cantatas touch us even though we may not understand the significance -- or even the meaning -- of the text, Chafe's insights reveal for us the many ways in which Bach's music expresses Lutheran theological ideas, allowing us to appreciate Bach on an entirely different level.
