PianoHarpsichordBaroqueConcerto~13 minadvanced
Bach's brilliant imitation of an Italian orchestral concerto for solo keyboard. Written for two-manual harpsichord, the contrasts between forte and piano simulate the interplay of tutti and solo. The lyrical slow movement is one of Bach's most expressive keyboard creations.
