HE recording of Szigeti in Bach’s D Minor Concerto for violin and orchestra has been heard several times from Auckland stations this year, but I. had not come across the recording of the piano arrangement of the same concerto until it appeared recently in an afternoon Classical Hour from 1YA. A similar duplication exists with a concerto in F minor for the piano, of which both the Bartlett and Fischer recordings are often heard here, but which also may be heard as a concerto in G minor for the violin. There is nothing more delightful to a pianist and a violinist, and nothing more tedious to the rest of the company, than an interminable argument as to which form is the more beautiful. It is not Busoni who has made these transcriptions. The deed was done by that king of transcribers, J. S. Bach. He wrote these concertos first for the violin, then re-wrote them for the harpsichord. The violin versions were lost, and what are played now are fairly recent reconstructions of the original violin parts made from the existing keyboard versions,
