The concertos for one harpsichord, BWV 1052–1059, survive in an autograph score, now held in the Berlin State Library. Philipp Spitta, "Johann Sebastian Bach," 1880 In this branch of art he devoted himself chiefly at Leipzig to the clavier concerto. Whether Bach ever wrote violin concertos expressly for them must remain undecided. The most flourishing time in Bach's domestic band was, no doubt, from about 1730 until 1733, since the grown-up sons, Friedemann and Emanuel, were still living in their father's house, Bernhard was already grown up, and Krebs, who had been Sebastian's pupil since 1726, was beginning to display his great talents.

Two other concertos include solo harpsichord parts: the concerto BWV 1044, which has solo parts for harpsichord, violin and flute, and Brandenburg Concerto No.
There are seven complete concertos for a single harpsichord (BWV 1052–1058), three concertos for two harpsichords (BWV 1060–1062), two concertos for three harpsichords (BWV 10), and one concerto for four harpsichords (BWV 1065). The keyboard concertos, BWV 1052–1065, are concertos for harpsichord (or organ), strings and continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach.
