I taught myself how to play this version, the 1982 version by Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert. I miss a few notes, but then again, I add quite a few doubled notes especially during the second reprise, so I guess this is what you call my "Arrangement" of the Brandenburg Concerto No.3 Third Movement. I searched it first and only 7 entries come up for "Brandenburg Concerto 3 guitar" and one of them was my personal friend, Katherine Thomas,AKA The Great Kat!!Coolness!I have been playing this for years and she beat me to officially recording it, we had once discussed covering it like ten years ago, but I dropped the ball on that one and she picked it up and ran it in for a touchdown! LoL Remember this song was published in 1721 but probably written about 300 years ago exactly, more like between 1708-1715, so a lot of musicians have covered it since then, most notably Mozart and Paganini, who were quite famous for their renditions of J.S. Bach compositions arranged for their respective instruments of Clavierand Violin/guitar (Paganini was a virtuoso guitarist as well as violinist) .....Anyway, So this will now be Brandenburg Concerto version eight for guitar on Youtube, and version two for electric guitar!! Yay! Good enough for me! So in a year from now, if there are 200 versions, you will know this was the second electric version ever, next to The Great Kat! And the only one with Electric guitar and orchestra on Youtube as of August 2008,lol! The Great Kat rules, everyone else drools, literally!!! Hope you like my attempt at being a pseudo-full-fledged classical dude! Sorry for the "crapulant"(my new word for the day) sound, it was already very quiet, but it still picks up loud.Oh, and I apologize to the purest classical music afficionados for my accidental blunder of coming in too early at 3:17. Please forgive me, I was not classically trained. I taught myself to do this guitar thing from listening and playing along. [

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)Brandenburg concerto No. 1 for two corni da caccia, three oboes, bassoon, violino piccolo, two violins, viola, cello, and basso continuo in F major BWV10464. Menuet - Trio - Menuet repetat - Poloinesse - Menuet ab inizio - Trio - Menuet ab inizioPerformed by Concerto ItalianoConducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini*Winner of the Grammaphone editor's Choice award, and the 2006 Grammaphone award for best baroque intrumental recording*This concerto is the only one in the collection with four movements. An earlier version (Sinfonia, BWV 1046a) which does not use the violino piccolo was used for the opening of cantata BWV 208. This version lacks the third movement entirely, and the Polacca from the final movement, leaving Menuet - Trio I - Menuet - Trio II - Menuet. The first movement can also be found as the sinfonia of the cantata BWV 52, Falsche Welt, dir trau ich nicht. The third movement was used as the opening chorus of cantata BWV 207.Just in case you didn't know, the violino piccolo is similar to a child's size violin, and is tuned a third or a fourth higher. The best-known violino piccolo is the Brothers Amati example in the National Music Museum, in Vermillion, South Dakota. By modern measurements, the body is 1/4 size, the neck 1/2 size, and the head corresponds to that of a 3/4 size instrument. The string length is the equivalent of a 4/4 violin stopped a minor third from the nut, which corresponds with its normal tuning of a third higher than a 4/4 violin. This Amati violin also has fingerboard widths similar to that of a 4/4 board cut a third shorter, which in view of the other measurements implies a clear conceptual relationship to the 4/4-sized violin.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)Brandenburg concerto No. 5 for violin, transverse flute, harpsichord, ripieno violins, viola, cello and violone in D major BWV10501. AllegroPerformed by Concerto ItalianoConducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini*Winner of the Grammaphone editor's Choice award, and the 2006 Grammaphone award for best baroque intrumental recording*It is believed that this concerto was written in 1719, to show off a new harpsichord by Michael Mietke which Bach had brought back from Berlin for the Cöthen court. It is also thought that Bach wrote it for a competition at Dresden with the French composer and organist Louis Marchand; in the central movement, Bach uses one of Marchand's themes. Marchand fled before the competition could take place, apparently scared off in the face of Bach's great reputation of virtuosity and improvisation.The concerto is well suited throughout to showing off the qualities of a fine harpsichord and the virtuosity of its player, but especially in the lengthy solo 'cadenza' to the first movement. It seems almost certain that Bach, considered a great organ and harpsichord virtuoso, was the harpsichord soloist at the premiere. Scholars have seen in this work the origins of the solo keyboard concerto; indeed it is said to be the first-ever example.**For OedipusColoneus, the biggest Concerto Italiano fan I know :) [

Title : Bach , Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, 1st movementDate: 1721 [
More Detail ]
http://www.encognitive.comThe Brandenburg concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1046--1051, original title: Six Concerts Avec plusieurs Instruments[1]) are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig, margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt,[2] in 1721 (though probably composed earlier). They are widely regarded as among the finest musical compositions of the Baroque era.The inscription of 24 March 1721 on the dedication manuscript to the Margrave, attests for the date of composition for the Brandenburg Concertos, but most likely they had been written over a number of years during Bach's tenure as Kapellmeister at Anhalt-Köthen and possibly even extending back to the period of his employment at Weimar (1708-17).The dedication page Bach wrote for the collection indicates they are Concerts avec plusieurs instruments (Concertos with several instruments). Bach used the "widest spectrum of orchestral instruments... in daring combinations," as Christoph Wolff has commented.[3] "Every one of the six concertos set a precedent in scoring, and every one was to remain without parallel." Heinrich Besseler has noted that the overall forces required (leaving aside the first concerto, which was rewritten for a special occasion) tallies exactly with the players Bach had at his disposal in Köthen.[4]Here is the first sentence of his dedication to Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt, its tone, if not its rather remarkable length, typical of dedications of the period:"As I had the good fortune a few years ago to be heard by Your Royal Highness, at Your Highness's commands, and as I noticed then that Your Highness took some pleasure in the little talents which Heaven has given me for Music, and as in taking Leave of Your Royal Highness, Your Highness deigned to honour me with the command to send Your Highness some pieces of my Composition: I have in accordance with Your Highness's most gracious orders taken the liberty of rendering my most humble duty to Your Royal Highness with the present Concertos, which I have adapted to several instruments; begging Your Highness most humbly not to judge their imperfection with the rigor of that discriminating and sensitive taste, which everyone knows Him to have for musical works, but rather to take into benign Consideration the profound respect and the most humble obedience which I thus attempt to show Him."Because King Frederick William I of Prussia was not a significant patron of the arts, Christian Ludwig seems to have lacked the musicians in his Berlin ensemble to perform the concertos. The full score was left unused in the Margrave's library until his death in 1734, when it was sold for 24 groschen (as of 2008, about US$22.00 of silver). The concertos were discovered in the archives of Brandenburg in the 19th century.[5]In the modern era these works have been performed by orchestras with the string parts each played by a number of players, under the batons of, for example, Karl Richter and Herbert von Karajan. They have also been performed as chamber music, with one instrument per part, especially by (but not limited to) groups using baroque instruments and (sometimes more, sometimes less) historically-informed techniques and practice.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_concertos [

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)Brandenburg concerto No. 2 for trumpet, recorder, oboe, violin, ripieno violins I &II, cello, violone, and harpsichord in F major BWV10472. Andante3. Allegro AssaiPerformed by Concerto ItalianoConducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini*Winner of the Grammaphone editor's Choice award, and the 2006 Grammaphone award for best baroque intrumental recording*This piece was almost certainly written with the court trumpeter in Cöthen, Johann Ludwig Schreiber, in mind. The trumpet part is still considered one of the most difficult in the entire repertoire, played on either the natural or the modern valved trumpet. This recording uses the natural trumpet as the valved version was not invented until the end of the 18th century. The trumpet does not play in the second movement, as is common practice in baroque era concerti due to the construction of the instrument, which allows the trumpet to play only in one key. Because concerti often move to a different key in the second movement, the trumpet is unable to play. This piece was also chosen as the first to be played on the "golden record", a phonograph record containing a broad sample of Earth's common sounds, languages, and music sent into outer space with the two Voyager probes.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)Brandenburg concerto no. 6 for two viola da braccio, two viola da gamba, cello, violone and harpsichord1. [...]2. Adagio, ma non tantoPerformed by Concerto ItalianoConducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini*Winner of the Grammaphone editor's Choice award, and the 2006 Grammaphone award for best baroque intrumental recordingMusicologists aren't entirely sure why Bach decided to write in two viola da gamba which are not entirely vital to the structure of the piece. It's possible they were added because Prince Leopold, Bach's patron at Cothen, was a player of the instrument and liked to take part in musical performances. This may also be why the part is not particularily complicated. ;)Note: viola da braccio is exactly the same as the regular viola. Bach wrote "da braccio" (of the arm) to differentiate between it and the viola da gamba which is a member of a completely different family of instruments. [

Johann Sebastian Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major (BWV 1048).Title on autograph score: Concerto 3zo a tre Violini, tre Viole, è tre Violoncelli col Basso per il Cembalo.Instrumentation: three violins, three violas, three cellos, and basso continuo (including harpsichord).The second movement consists of a single measure with the two chords that make up a Phrygian mode cadence and — although there is no direct evidence to support it — it was likely that these chords are meant to surround or follow a cadenza improvised by a harpsichord or violin player. Modern performance approaches run a gamut from simply playing the cadence with minimal ornamentation (treating it as a sort of "musical semicolon"), to inserting movements from other works, to cadenzas varying in length from under a minute to over two minutes. Notably, Wendy Carlos's three electronic performances (from Switched-On Bach, Switched-On Brandenburgs, and Switched-On Bach 2000) have second movements that are completely different from each other.Occasionally, the third movement from Bach's "Sonata for Violin and Continuo in G , BWV. 1021" (marked Largo) is substituted for the second movement as it contains an identical Phrygian mode cadence as the closing chords. The Adagio from the Violin Sonata in G, BWV 1019a, has also been used.The outer movements use the ritornello form found in many instrumental and vocal works of the time. The first movement can also be found in reworked form as the sinfonia of the cantata BWV 174, "Ich liebe den Höchsten von ganzem Gemüte", with the addition of three oboes and two horns.1.

Baroque: 17th and 18th century progressive music!Johann Sebastian Bach (pronounced [joˈhan/ˈjoːhan zeˈbastjan ˈbax]) (March 21, 1685 O.S. -- July 28, 1750 N.S.) was a prolific German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.Revered for their intellectual depth and technical and artistic beauty, Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos; the Goldberg Variations; the English Suites, French Suites, Partitas, and Well-Tempered Clavier; the Mass in B Minor; the St Matthew Passion; the St. John Passion; The Musical Offering; The Art of Fugue; the Sonatas and Partitas for violin solo; the Cello Suites; more than 200 surviving cantatas; and a similar number of organ works, including the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.While Bach's fame as an organist was great during his lifetime, he was not particularly well-known as a composer. His adherence to Baroque forms and contrapuntal style was considered "old-fashioned" by his contemporaries, especially late in his career when the musical fashion tended towards Rococo and later Classical styles. A revival of interest and performances of his music began early in the 19th century, and he is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition. [

Johann Sebastian BachBrandenburg Concerto No 3 in G Major, BWV 1048, Allegro.Johann Sebastian Bach was taught by his father to play the violin and the harpsichord. He was also initiated into the art of organ playing by his famous uncle, Johann Christoph Bach.Most of Johann Bach's younger life was spent playing church and town organs. It wasn't until his later life that his genius of composing surfaced. Unfortunately, at the height of his creativity his eyesight started to fail him. Sadly, he lived in the darkness because of his light sensitive eyes until his final years. [

Reinhard Goebel.Title on autograph score: Concerto 5to d'une Traversiere, une Violino principale, une Violino è una Viola in ripieno, Violoncello, Violone è Cembalo concertato.Movements:1st: Allegro 2nd: Affettuoso 3rd: AllegroConcertino: harpsichord, violin, flute.Ripieno: violin, viola, cello, violone, (harpsichord).The harpsichord is both a concertino and a ripieno instrument: in the concertino passages the part is obbligato; in the ripieno passages it has a figured bass part and plays continuo.This concerto makes use of a popular chamber music ensemble of the time (flute, violin, and harpsichord), which Bach used on their own for the middle movement. It is believed that it was written in 1719, to show off a new harpsichord by Michael Mietke which Bach had brought back from Berlin for the Cöthen court. It is also thought that Bach wrote it for a competition at Dresden with the French composer and organist Louis Marchand; in the central movement, Bach uses one of Marchand's themes.

It seems almost certain that Bach, considered a great organ and harpsichord virtuoso, was the harpsichord soloist at the premiere. Scholars have seen in this work the origins of the solo keyboard concerto; indeed it is said to be the first-ever example.An earlier version, BWV 1050a, has innumerable small differences from its later cousin, but only two main ones: there is no part for cello, and there is a shorter and less elaborate harpsichord cadenza in the first movement. (The cello part in BWV 1050, when it differs from the violone part, doubles the left hand of the harpsichord.) [
