It is well known that J.S. Bach wrote his clavier Concertos as a transcription of the Concertos by the Italian masters of violin. But the Concerto, named Italian (1735) with its two lively F major outer movements, in ritornello style, frame a florid arioso-style movement in D minor, the relative minor is an original work that uses the principle of the Italian concertos of the time.
An Italian style concerto relies upon the contrasting roles of different groups of instruments in an ensemble; Bach imitates this effect by creating contrasts using the forte and piano manuals of a two-manual harpsichord throughout the piece. In fact, along with the French Overture and some of the Goldberg Variations, this is one of the few works by Bach which specifically require a 2-manual harpsichord.
This edition is based on research conducted on original copies of the first editions of this work, that are stored in archives in Great Britain, Austria and Germany. Some of the copies contain remarks, coments and corrections made by J.S. Bach himself (in one case – more than a hundred). All performing instructions are given in the precise accordance with the lifetime print and handwritten remarks. It is the first edition in Russia that can claim such depths of analysis.
The complexity level corresponds to music colleges, conservatoires, concert performers.
Gift edition.

Italian Concerto BWV 971
Overture in the French Style BWV 831
Клавирные концерты И. С. Бах создавал как переложения для клавира итальянских скрипичных концертов. Главным итогом в этом жанра явился для композитора "Итальянский концерт", созданный в 1735 году. Название, данное самим Бахом, указывает на происхождение концертного жанра: его родиной была Италия. Произведение написано для клавира с двумя мануалами, без оркестрового сопровождения.

Все исполнительские указания даны в точном соответствии с оригинальной, прижизненной печатью и ее рукописными правками.
