Brandenburg Concerto No. 3

This is the complete Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 Johann Sebastian Bach transcribed for Instrumental Quartets. It has an optional organ part if so desired, but will work perfectly well without. Originally written for three violins three violas, three celli, double bass and continuo, this transcription despite its difficulty may actually be accessible to more advanced non-professional quartets. It for the most part lays well on all of the instrument and once continuous lines have been dispersed to allow for some breaks. A lead part solo has been created over the second movement Phrygian cadence that would have been originally improvised by the harpsichordist.  Either the organist or another Instrument could improvise their own solo here if desired. Playing Time 13:00.
