A profoundly moving work, this harpsichord concerto is thought to be based on a lost violin concerto in D minor which was arranged as an organ concerto in 1728 for use in two of Bach’s cantatas; the first two movements for the sinfonia and 1st choral movement of Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen, BWV 146 as well last movement is in Ich habe meine Zuversicht, BWV 188.

Always keep a metronome accessible and play through song together with it pulsing without anyone’s knowledge – , even the very best pianists will make use of it. Do not think of moving forward onto the melodic elements til you have first learned the actual flow of the bass line. This can be done through just practising slowly You shouldn’t end up being embarrassed about counting aloud and then singing aloud the melodic line of the right hand material.
