Beginning in the 1720s, Bach had the organ play concertante (i.e., as a soloist) with the orchestra in instrumental cantata movements, [121] a decade before Handel published his first organ concertos. [122]

In his later years Bach faced harsh criticism. During the 1720s and 1730s when he was composing his most important works - the Passions and the Goldberg Variations among them - a new Italian style invaded Germany, making his work appear outdated.

In the 1720s Bach and several of his contemporaries together wrote an everlasting repertoire of orchestral music full of virtuoso fireworks and sonorous expressiveness. Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto BWV 1052 bears the traces of an earlier violin version that has unfortunately been lost.

When J. S. Bach came to write his St. Matthew Passion in the 1720s, the passion, as a musical form, had grown to allow orchestra, choirs, and non-scriptural choruses and arias. But even by the standard of the Baroque passion, the Passion According to St. Matthew is exceptional for its musical richness and its grand scope.
