Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Huguette Dreyfus

16 Harpsichord Transcriptions of Concerti, BWV 972–987 is a set of harpsichord transcriptions by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled around 1735. The works adapt Italian concerto material into a keyboard idiom, featuring Baroque concerto textures, elaborate contrapuntal writing and demanding keyboard passagework, and they represent Bach's engagement with the Italian concerto style and his contribution to the development of keyboard repertoire.
