The Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041, was composed by Johan Sebastian Bach in 1748.
Structure and Analysis
The piece has three movements:
- Allegro moderato
- Andante — with an ostinato style theme
- Allegro assai
The motifs of the theme of the Allegro moderato appear in changing combinations and are separated and intensified throughout the movement.
In the Andante Bach uses an insistent pattern in the bass part that is repeated constantly in the movement. He focuses the variation in the harmonic relations.
In the final movement Bach relies on bariolage figures to generate striking acoustic effects.
