Exercise into a genuine musical game between nations…
Italy + France = Klavierübung.
Each of the works on this record was deliberately associated with one of the predominant national styles of the period. The Italian Concerto almost playfully opposes "soli" and "tutti" on a single instrument, while the Overture in the French Style plays on the somewhat theoretical alternation of "forte" and "piano". All of these features of the Klavierübung transform the dialectic - and virtuosic! - exercise into a genuine musical game between nations…
