Italian Concerto

In 1713/14, while serving as court organist in Weimar, Bach arranged numerous concertos for keyboard or organ. Over two decades later, he published his original work, the “Concerto in the Italian Style,” in 1735, marking a peak in this genre. The original autograph has since been lost, so Henle’s Urtext edition relies on the first printed version corrected by Bach. The piece features forte and piano markings that indicate shifts between tutti and solo sections. The publication, released by G. Henle on December 31, 2009, is available in multiple languages and spans 20 pages.
