Concerto for two harpsichords in C minor, BWV 1060

[7][8] The Adagio middle movement has a cantabile melody which is treated imitatively by both solo instruments, accompanied by the string orchestra.

[7][8] In his early 19th-century Bach biography, Johann Nikolaus Forkel described the concerto as "very old", with which he probably meant he found its style antiquated.

[1][15][17][7] Max Schneider's reconstruction as a concerto for two violins in D minor was performed in 1920 at the Leipzig Bach Festival.

[15] According to Max Seiffert it makes more sense to keep the same key as the keyboard version, that is C minor, when reconstructing the concerto for violin and oboe soloists.

[20] The slow movement of Karl Richter's recording, with Hedwig Bilgram and the Münchener Bach-Orchester, also features in the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon (1975).
