J. S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major, BWV 1048 is a vibrant Baroque masterpiece written for an ensemble of strings and continuo. This Cello II orchestral part from Breitkopf & Härtel provides practical modern performance material while respecting the work’s historical character. A distinctive feature of the concerto is its unconventional middle section, in which Bach provided only two chords rather than a complete slow movement. The edition incorporates Emil Platen’s optional solution, which expands the transition using all the string instruments and musical elements drawn from the concerto itself, creating a stylistically appropriate bridge between the two outer movements.
