The structure of this Concerto is three movements - 1. Allegro /2.Adagio /3.Allegro Assai.


For example, Allegro from is in E major and in ritornello form. Second, Adagio is based on C-sharp minor with a ground bass. 


In finally, Allegro assai is in E major with an overall structure of Rondo.


While there are two 18th Century scores, but autographs of this work aren't existing. 


However, J.S. Bach reused the Concerto for his harpsichord Concerto in D major, BWV 1054.
