...and Bach week continues with another one of his greatest hits.

Factoids:
  • This is the third of six Brandenberg Concerti.
    • They are all dedicated to Christian Ludwig, military leader and margrove of Brandenburg - Schwedt.
      • Oddly enough this dedication is without question his greatest claim to fame!

  • This particular concerto is scored for strings only.
    • The orchestration for the others vary and includse extensive solo sections for trumpet and harpsichord among other instruments.

Enjoy!
