Bach, Johann Sebastian

Brandenburgisches Konzert Nr. 3

(Brandenburg Concerto No. 3)

S343 Urtext

Symphonic Section No. 3

Peters Edition

Manager's Note: 1st viola part unavailable

--------------------------------------------------------

S453 arr. Isaac, 1st and 2nd movements

Symphonic Section No. 4

Manager's Note: the "2nd movement" mentioned here is the ending Allegro.
In some editions, a Adagio second movement of solo violin and basso continuo precedes the closing Allegro, as recorded by Arthur Grumiaux on EMI.
In other cases, it is either ommited as it is in the arrangement by Merle J. Isaac, or a short cadencial section of two chords connects the two fast movements, as is with the Peters edition.
