The Concerto in D major, BWV 1054 is based on the Violin Concerto in E major, BWV 1042, which was presumably written during Bach's term of office at the court of Cöthen. In the later version, Bach changed numerous details of the solo part as well as of the accompanying parts. The variety of motivic ideas, some of them used for development and some for contrast, which are worked into a compact texture and dominate above all the first movement, is conveyed to the listener in the harpsichord transcription in a very singular way. Thus, the harpsichord version can be seen on equal terms with the violin version as a realization of the same musical material.
