  • Haynes, Bruce, “Johann Sebastian Bachs Oboekonzerte,” Bach-Jahrbuch 37, 1992
  • Bach, Johann Sebastian, Konzerte für Cembalo, BWV 1052-1059, Kritische Bericht (critical commentary), Bärenreiter (2001) BA 5090-41, ISMN 979-0- 006-49469-9, Neue Bach-Ausgabe. Serie VII, Band 4, Ed. Breig, Werner (1932-).

These references are now properly cited in the preface and editorial note. (3 Jan 2020, Jun_T)

The famous "Largo" (also known as "Arioso"), an arrangement of BWV 1056/2 and/or BWV 156/1, a piece often performed as the second movement of the concerto, is included as "Appendix" in this edition, since this "Largo" is known NOT to belong to the original violin (or oboe) concerto. Please refer the editorial note included in the scores for details. (10 June 2021, Jun_T)
