Reviews of this publication:

* Like the Italian Concerto for solo harpsichord (BWV 971), the
Concerto a due cembali is Bach’s only concerto

Like the Italian Concerto for solo harpsichord (BWV 971), the
Concerto a due cembali is Bach’s only
concerto expressly written for two unaccompanied harpsichords.

He probably composed it in Leipzig some time around 1733: later he
provided an alternative version
with a string ripieno in the first and third movements. The original
version for two unaccompanied
harpsichords appeared for the first time as a scholarly-critical
edition in the “New Bach Edition”.

It forms the basis of our new performing edition, which draws on the
latest findings of scholarship to
provide an ideal foundation for the most discerning musicians.
