List of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach wrote many concertos. Only his Violin Concertos, BWV 1041–1043 and six *Brandenburg Concertos* can be found in their first instrumentation. His harpsichord concertos are mostly based on concertos made for other instruments.

## Concerto transcriptions
Bach transcribed some concertos by other composers for solo organ (BWV&nbsp;592–596) and for solo harpsichord (BWV&nbsp;972–987) from July 1713 to July 1714. Most of these were from concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. He also transcribed concertos by Alessandro Marcello, Benedetto Marcello, Georg Philipp Telemann and Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar.

## Concerto form in other compositions
### *Sonate auf Concertenart*
The *Sonate auf Concertenart* ( sonata in the style of a concerto) name is used for some of Bach's sonatas.

### In vocal compositions
Bach wrote some movements of his vocal works in the concerto form. One example is the starting chorus of his cantata BWV&nbsp;7, which is like an Italian violin concerto movement. Another example is the starting movement of Bach's Magnificat.
