Conference Café & Croissant

J.S. Bach united in his work the two great national currents of the Baroque era: the French and the Italian styles.

What makes them so different? What use did Bach make of them in his keyboard works and how did he achieve their synthesis? Musicologist and pianist Viktor Lazarov will discuss these questions and play excerpts from pieces by J-P Rameau, sonatas by D. Scarlatti, the Italian Concerto and the French Overture by J.S. Bach.
