The Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041, is a violin concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. While it is "generally thought to have been composed at Köthen in 1717–23",[1] Christoph Wolff has argued that the work may have been written in Leipzig during Bach's time as director of the Collegium Musicum.[2] John Butt also believes that Bach wrote it "probably soon after taking over the Leipzig Collegium Musicum in 1729".[citation needed] However, the only autograph source to survive is a set of parts Bach copied out (along with Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Ludwig Krebs, and an unknown copyist) in Leipzig c. 1730 from a now lost score or draft.[2]
