3. Allegro assai

Scored for solo violin, two violin parts, viola and basso continuo.
The date is uncertain. A Köthen origin around 1720 and a later Leipzig date around 1730 have both been proposed; these are alternatives, not a continuous period of composition. Bach reworked it as the Harpsichord Concerto in G minor, BWV 1058.
