Concerto for Oboe and Violin in D minor, BWV 1060R

No original of this concerto survives. What exists is BWV 1060, a concerto for two harpsichords in C minor that Bach assembled in Leipzig in the 1730s for the Collegium Musicum, and which scholars agree was itself an arrangement of an earlier work for two melody instruments. Twentieth-century editors reconstructed that lost original as a concerto for oboe and violin in D minor, now catalogued BWV 1060R; the contrast of a reed and a string instrument explains passages in the harpsichord version that lie awkwardly under the hands. It has become a repertoire staple in this form.
