Do you know another Doppel (double) concerto composed by Bach? As you know, one is Concerto for Two Violins BWV1042. Another is Concerto for Two Violins BWV1060a. You may say "It's for oboe and violin." Bach arranged his lost concerto for two harpsicodes. Now, it is known as Concerto for Two Harpsichords No.1 BWV1060. Max Seiffert, German famous musicologist introduced the restoration for oboe and violin in 1930's. Then this concerto has been played by oboe and violin. However, a speculation based on a playing style in Bach's era indicates that the original concerto is composed for two violins.
