Description

Bach Concerto in E maj for Violin (Breitkopf & Härtel)

Johann Sebastian Bach's E major concerto, edited by Klaus Hofmann, is a Baroque solo concerto for orchestra. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel, this 17-minute piece contains 24 pages and is part of the Partitur-Bibliothek (Score Library) series. Despite its age, the piece still presents unanswered interpretative questions.

Another celebrated performer, Sigiswald Kuijken, has contributed his valuable experience to Breitkopf & Haertel's new editions. Despite years of interpretation, questions still need to be answered about Bach's E major concerto.

The source contains remarkable slurs in the solo part, which may not be authentic to Bach. Therefore, suggestions from an experienced soloist are crucial for an accurate interpretation.

Klaus Hofmann's edition for violin and keyboard instruments is unique in its approach. It provides three violin parts: the first is a new score, the second has markings and notes by Sigiswald Kuijken, and the third is a facsimile of the primary source. This allows the performer to have all the necessary information and make competent decisions. The continuo part has been realized sparingly and idiomatically by Siegfried Petrenz.
