Background: In the Brandenburg Concerto No.4 Bach skilfully unites elements of the solo concerto with those of a typical concerto grosso. The solo, or concertino, group in this work consists of a violin and two flauti d'echo while that of the ripieno comprises strings and continuo. Both on stylistic and instrumental grounds the Concerto No.5 is the most forward-looking of the six. Not only does it embrace aspects of the developing solo concerto more wholeheartedly than the remaining works in the set, but Bach also writes here for the newly fashionable transverse flute as opposed to the recorders of concertos Nos. 2 and 4.

There is a world of difference between the occasional splendour of the first Brandenburg, with its hunting horns and courtly dance, and the soft-spoken, chamber music intimacy of Concerto No.6. This concerto differs from the other five in that Bach, exceptionally excluded violins entirely from the instrumental texture.
