Concertos for solo harpsichord

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Melante Amsterdam & Bob van Asperen

Concertos for solo harpsichord are a set of keyboard concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the late 1730s. They employ Baroque concerto forms with virtuosic solo harpsichord writing contrasted with a small orchestral ensemble, reflecting Bach's adaptation of Italian concerto models and occupying a notable position in his middle-period instrumental output and keyboard practice.
