Reconstructed concertos
Each reconstructed concerto is created after the harpsichord concerto for the presumed original
instrument. Such reconstructions are commonly referred to as, for example, BWV 1052R (where
the R stands for 'reconstructed').
BWV 1052r - Violin Concerto in D minor (reconstructed from BWV 1052)
BWV 1053r - Oboe d'amore Concerto in D major / Oboe Concerto in F major
(reconstructed from BWV 1053)
BWV 1055r - Oboe d'amore Concerto in A major (reconstructed from BWV 1055)
BWV 1056r - Violin Concerto in G minor / Oboe Concerto in G minor (reconstructed
from BWV 1056)
BWV 1059r - Oboe Concerto in D minor (reconstructed from BWV 1059 and associated
cantatas - the most spurious reconstruction, simply because there is no more than a 10-bar
fragment of this piece surviving)
BWV 1060r - Concerto for Violin and Oboe in C minor/D minor (reconstructed from
BWV 1060)
BWV 1064r - Concerto for Three Violins in D major (reconstructed from BWV 1064)
