The Violin Concerto No. 2 in E Major BWV 1042 is one of the great masterpieces of Johann Sebastian Bach, the great German composer who had a profound influence on Western music.

The second movement, Andante, brings a peaceful, deep space, creating a clear contrast with the first movement. Finally, the Allegro in the third movement is lively, with attractive and delicate melodies, as a perfect ending to a great work.
