The opening movement of Bach’s concerto for violin, strings and continuo BWV 1041, performed on original instruments by the San Francisco Early Music ensemble Voices of Music, with soloist Carla Moore.
Bach’s concerto presents a composer who can balance a variety of interrelated themes while still maintaining the basic framework of the concerto form, fashioning traditional ritornellos and episodes with tightly-knit motives. The parallel development of the thematic material foreshadows elements of the Classical Sonata form which would be further developed by C.P.E. Bach and other composers.
