Bach Harpsichord Concerto no. 3 in D major, BWV 1054
Scored for harpsichord, two violins, viola and continuo, and clocking in about 17 minutes, this concerto was based on the surviving violin concerto in E, BWV 1042, though transposed down a tone to allow the top E note be reached as D, common limit of the harpsichords of Bach's time.
