The A minor Concerto, composed in 1750, is played more frequently nowadays. It is believed that C. Ph. E. Bach wrote the Concerto in B major Wq 171 as the final piece in a group of works in Potsdam in 1753 at the court of Frederick the Great. The adaptations for flute or harpsichord came a little later. The available sources show that the work was distributed through copies in the second half of the 18th century.
