The organ concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach are solo pieces originally transcribed and reworked from instrumental concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and the musically gifted Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar. While the authenticity of BWV 592–596 is beyond doubt, BWV 597, the sixth concerto, is now widely considered to be spurious. Composed during Bach's second period at the Weimar court (1708–1717), the concertos can be more precisely dated to 1713–1714.

During the same period in Weimar, Bach also made several transcriptions of Vivaldi's concertos for single, two and four harpsichords. The original concertos were selected from Vivaldi's Op. 3, L'estro armonico, a set of twelve concertos for one, two, and four violins, composed in 1711. The publication of these Bach transcriptions by C. F. Peters in the 1850s and Breitkopf & Härtel in the 1890s played a decisive role in the Vivaldi revival of the 20^(th) century.

Yes, it didn't just look cold; it was cold. At the deepest point of the valley, where the river flows, the cold air gathers. It was cold, but so rewarding. Here, you can see how the sun lights up the new little fog as it melts the snow on the stones and touches the river's surface. The video was filmed by Simone Schlegel and edited by Wenjing Ma.
