Like all concerts, it consists of three parts: Allegro moderato, Andante and Allegro assai. The first and third parts are in A minor key while the middle one is in relative C major. It is said that Johann Sebastian Bach composed this work between 1717-1723, although some musicologists claim that he wrote it a few years later.

Sheet Music Details
The work, although adapted for only two baguettes, moves in a range of two octaves (C4 – D6) and is quite demanding in speed. Thus it is addressed to students of higher levels or professional musicians.
Bach wrote this movement in ritornello form.
