- Italian Concerto BWV 971
Product description
Bach's "Concerto in the Italian Sytle" has been one of his most popular works ever since its publication in 1735. It surprises by its clarity and architectural mastery without posing inordinate demands on the player's technique. No original manuscript sources survive, but we do have Bach's personal copies of both versions of the original printed copies. New Urtext edition is based on the second impression of the original printed copy, corrected by Bach himself.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.
