Brandenburg Concertos
The Brandenburg Concertos (BWV 1046-1051)
were written by Bach around 1721. They were
given to the Margrave of Brandenburg as a gift
showing Bach's appreciation for the Margrave's
support. But the Margrave never got the chance
to organize a performance, and it's speculated
that Bach himself never heard the Concertos
performed at all They are one of Bach's most popular works with contemporary listeners. Interesting
note: the original manuscript of the concertos was
nearly lost in WW1 when the building they were
housed in was bombarded. A concerned librarian
was able to rescue the manuscript.
