Bach was an Italian, and a Frenchman, and a German – musically speaking. In his ‘Italian’ concerto BWV 971, here performed by Christine Schornsheim for All of Bach, Bach follows the model from across the Alps, having three parts (fast-slow-fast), imitating the continual alternation between tutti sections and solos, and using ritornello (a sort of refrain to keep up speed) in the opening section. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 15 February 2019 at the Bartolotti House, Amsterdam.
