I find it almost impossible to believe that the manuscript of six concertos presented by Bach to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721 does not exist in digital form [despite having been published in several different facsimile editions]. That is, until now!

Thus far I have scanned Bach’s title and dedication pages and his autograph of the complete Sixth Brandenburg Concerto. Above are a few pages from this digital debut but I would suggest heading over to my Flickr to view the entire manuscript – it is without question worth a closer look.

If you are in Iowa you can hear this piece and much more by Bach and his contemporaries performed tomorrow night at the WCFSO.
