Brandenburg Concertos his scoring the concertos for "several instruments" ("Concerts avec plusieurs instruments") is an understatement. Bach used the "widest spectrum of orchestral instruments … in daring combinations," as Christoph Wolff has commented. "Every one of the six concertos set a precedent in scoring, and every one was to remain without parallel." Heinrich Besseler has noted that the overall forces required (leaving aside the first concerto, which was rewritten for a special occasion) tallies exactly with the 17 players Bach had at his disposal in Köthen. Title on autograph score: Concerto 1 à 2 Corni di Caccia, 3 Hautb: è Bassono, Violino
RBB Brandenburg RBB Brandenburg RBB Brandenburg (until May 2003 ORB-Fernsehen) was the "third television channel" for Brandenburg, Germany from January 1992 to March 2004. Until May 2003, it was organized by Ostdeutscher Rundfunk Brandenburg (ORB), then by its successor, Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB). On 1 March 2004, the two regional television channels of RBB - "RBB Brandenburg" and "RBB Berlin" - were integrated into the new rbb Fernsehen. The programme was launched on 1 January 1992 under the name "Fernsehen Brandenburg". In the initial build-up phase, the then ARD cultural television programme Eins Plus was taken over from 3 p.m. to 5.15 p.m.
