To create a unique backdrop for the slow movement, Bach places the ritonello tune in the bass to take the place of an accompanying ostinato. The first note of each motive is repeated to create a pedal point which intensifies the harmony. The transcendent melodic line shimmers above the bass, giving the impression of an extended variation set. A similar structure was employed by Vivaldi in his Cello Concerto in D Minor RV 407.
A brilliant work, the date of composition for Bach's A Minor violin concerto is unknown, but it was possibly composed for his Collegium Musicum in Leipzig.
