Publisher's Synopsis
A sensational find within a revision: BWV 1067 in the A minor original version for violinBach's Overture BWV 1067 has become world-famous particularly through its closing Badinerie, a dashing finale that lets every flutist dazzle. All the more incredible was Werner Breig's new finding during his source study: the B minor score is based in all probability on a lost A minor work for four-part string ensemble and continuo. The reconstruction of the early A minor version, published here for the first time, has "its own qualities and is artistically compelling through its economy and the perfect agreement between musical invention and means" (Werner Breig) . Thus every proficient violinist can now shine with the Badinerie (one tone lower!) .
