Johann Sebastian Bach: Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042, for Violin and Orchestra – Henle Urtext Edition
Johann Sebastian Bach’s violin concertos remain essential works for players developing their skills in an expressive Baroque style. The Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042, is one of Bach’s most beloved works for solo violin and orchestra, combining radiant melodic writing, lively rhythmic energy, and elegant contrapuntal craft. This concerto is an excellent choice for violinists looking for Bach sheet music with refined technique, musical depth, and lasting recital, competition, and study value.
This Henle Urtext edition presents Bach’s Violin Concerto in E Major in a clear, reliable piano reduction for serious study and performance. This piece has survived solely in the form of a copy, but in view of its significant compositional substance, and of Bach’s arrangement (which has come down to us as an autograph) for harpsichord and orchestra, the work’s authenticity is beyond question. The highly expressive violin melody in the second movement speaks for itself: the harpsichord version cannot provide a real replacement for it. This edition offers violinists and pianists a dependable score for lessons, auditions, recitals, conservatory study, and concerto preparation.
Edited by Hans Eppstein, with piano reduction by Johannes Umbreit and violin fingering and bowing by Kurt Guntner, this paperbound edition includes both marked and unmarked string parts. A valuable Henle edition for violinists, pianists, teachers, and collectors of Bach sheet music.
