Their publication by C.F. Peters in the 1850s and by
Breitkopf & Härtel in the 1890s played a decisive role
in the Vivaldi revival of the twentieth century.
In this, the Keyboard Concerto no. 11 in B-flat Major
(BWV 982) Bach created a transcriptiion after the No.1
of the 6 Violin Concertos, Op.1, by Prince Johann Ernst
of Saxe-Weimar.
