J S Bach Concerto for Harpsichord No.4 in A major (BWV 1055) (two-piano reduction) Solo keyboard with piano reduction of the orchestral parts.
In early 1729 Bach became director of the so-called "Schottischen Collegium Musicum" a music organization of students and local citizens. The remarkable results of this undertaking are the concertos for harpsichord. Today it is almost certain that practically all of these concertos were transcribed from concertos for melody instruments (mostly violin or oboe).
The Concerto in A major for harpsichord and strings, BWV 1055, has come down to us in two versions that differ in their scoring of the continuo group. Bach scholars are unanimously in agreement that BWV 1055 was transcribed from an earlier concerto for concertante melody instrument. The original solo instrument is generally thought to be an oboe d'amore, which is known to have existed in central Germany from 1717. The original concerto may have arisen during Bach's tenure as chapel-master in Cöthen or in his Leipzig period.
