With the composition of the cantata Gott soll allein mein Herze haben, BWV 169, (God alone shall have my heart), for the eighteenth Sunday after Trinity, generously scored for three oboes, strings, obbligato organ and basso continuo, Bach, in 1726, fell back again on a lost instrumental concerto written earlier. Both the introductory Sinfonia and the second aria represent new versions of this original material that later was used again for the Harpsichord Concerto in E major, BWV 1053. A simple chorale on the melody of Luther's Nun bitten wir den heiligen Geist (Now we pray the Holy Ghost) forms the conclusion.
