This concerto is believed to have been written while Bach was at Cothen around 1720 and was later arranged as Concerto in C minor, BWV 1062, for two keyboards. Thus, this transcription for two mandolins and mandolin orchestra is entirely appropriate and the lyrical grandeur of this concerto is beautifully created by the plucked string instrumentation for both soloists and orchestra.
