About Double Concerto for Two Violins BWV 1043

The Double Concerto for Two Violins BWV 1043, composed by J.S. Bach around 1730, is a Late Baroque masterpiece written in D minor for two violin soloists. While originally a concerto for violin, its intricate counterpoint and interweaving melodic lines make it a compelling study for electric guitarists exploring classical technique. Transcribing and performing Bach on electric guitar offers valuable insight into voice leading, phrasing, and melodic independence across the fretboard.

  • BWV 1043 is written in D minor — a guitar-friendly key that translates naturally to both standard and drop-D tuning.
  • The concerto features two independent melodic voices in constant dialogue, making it an excellent exercise in polyphonic guitar playing.
  • Bach composed this work around 1730, placing it among the finest examples of Late Baroque concerto writing for strings.
