    Overview

    Bach derived inspiration from contemporaries such as Telemann and Vivaldi, whose works form a natural complement to these three examples. BWV1054 and 1056 have their origins in Bach violin concertos, the latter possessing further connections to an oboe concerto, a cantata and a concerto by Telemann; BWV1057 derives from the Fourth Brandenburg.
