Johann Sebastian Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto No. 4 in A major, BWV 1055 is a refined and masterful composition that exemplifies the brilliance of the baroque concerto genre. Composed around 1738 during Bach’s time in Leipzig, the work showcases his mastery of melodic invention and structural clarity.
The concerto is structured in three movements:
-
Allegro – A vibrant opening movement featuring lively dialogue between the soloist and orchestra.
-
Larghetto – A tender and expressive slow movement in F minor, rich in emotion and nuance.
-
Allegro ma non tanto – A final movement filled with rhythmic drive and contrapuntal finesse.
