brandenburgs

The Brandenburgs are the greatest pieces of music ever written. Are there any good Solo Piano versions? There probably is not since the concertos are so complex, but please tell me if there are.

The 3rd and 4th were transcribed by the Liszt pupil August Stradal.

I have played parts of the 3rd and can assure you they are not easy.

PM me if you would like the scores.

Reger did them for two pianos.
