Brandenburgische Konzerte Nr. 1, 2, 3 / Ouvertüre 3 is an album of works by Johann Sebastian Bach, comprising compositions originally composed and presented in 1721. The music exemplifies Baroque orchestral practice—particularly the concerto grosso and orchestral suite idioms—characterised by contrapuntal textures, contrasting solo and ensemble passages and rhythmic vitality, and these pieces occupy an important place in Bach's output as demonstrations of his skill in instrumental writing and orchestration.
