I have recently purchased Gould's edition of Bach's piano concertos Nos.1-5&7, and noticed that the Piano Concerto No.7 in g minor BWV1058 is the same than the violin concerto BWV1041, the only different thing is obviously the soloist instrument. Is this right?

Is that the D minor concerto for two pianos? I'm sure Bach transcribed that from a violin concerto in C minor, didn't he? I'm not sure.

Well yes he did do this - I thought Rutradelusasa made that clear at the beginning. I just mentioned the D minor piano concerto as it a favourite of mine. He arranged around 14 concertos for one or more Harpsichords that had been originally for Violin, flute or oboe. In doing this, he was the first to make the Harpsichord the solo instrument in a concerto - it enabled him to enrich his contrapuntal writing for the solo instrument, thus giving it a domineering role over the orchestra. Prior to this, the harpsichord had been used merely as accompaniment to an orchestra.
