Concerto for 2 Violins

Hello,
I see this has been asked before but the links arent available. Anyone have chords to bach's concerto for 2 violins?
Thank you
Comments
Did not find a version with chords, onnly the full score ...
... and a version with the two violins and a piano ...
Sweet. Thats gets me somewhere. Gonna have to go back to the days of harmonic analysis
Unfortunately the bass is not figured, which would help very much with the analysis. A lot of baroque music has figured bass, for this special piece of music I cannot find a score with this kind of chord symbols. Maybe Bach did not figure the bass line because he did not want the 2 violins to be accompanied by cembalo/clavichord/lute "improvising" along the continuo, but by the written voices of the bowed string instruments only, a cello or maybe violone playing the bass line.
I have a copy of a transcription of Django's accompaniment somewhere. I will try to find it.

This is from the old thread:
What Django played (second version) is in the middle of the article (written music, not the chords):
I was wrong with my idea that the piece would have been written for the bowed strings only. A look at this version by the Netherlands Bach Society shows a cembalo https://youtu.be/ILKJcsET-NM?si=Ed8PuSH1-3jr6wO3. At 2.22 I think I can see figures of the bass line in the keyboarder's score, I presume he did them by himself. And I think that "basso continuo" always means "a bass plus a harmony instrument", figured or not.
Thank you. Ill have a look tonight after work
This is super helpful. Takes all the theory work out of it. Thank you!!
To put a bit of (thoroughbass) theory work in again, here finally is the score with figured bass:
Thanks for the music, Willie. In the interest of playing this with a clarinet in the band, ive reworked the first 3 parts into an A A B lead sheet of sorts. Let me know what you think:
A1
|D- |A7 |D9 |G7 |
|G-6 |A7 |G/Bb A7b13|D- Ab°7|
A2
|A-6 |E9/B |A7 |A-6 |
|G69 |G-69 Ab°7|A-6 Ab°7|A-6 |
B
|A7 | |D- |C#°7 |
|C°7 |B-7b5 |G-6 |A7 |
|G/Bb |D- | (Still have a bit more to figure out here)
