Johann Sebastian Bach - Harpsichord Concerto No.1 in D minor, BWV 1052 - I. Allegro

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 † 1750) Concerto for harpsichord, strings and basso continuo No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052 Composed in 1738 during Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cöthen period, is thought to be based on a lost violin concerto. It is clear from the manuscript notation that the concerto was composed for the two manuals of the harpsichord. The piece is composed in three movements; the first one was later used by Bach as an organ prelude, and the slow movement became the first chorus of his Cantata No.
