The Italian Concerto BWV 971 was composed in 1735 for a solo two-manual harpsichord. It is one of Bach's more popular keyboard works and is in three movements (Allegro, Andante, Presto) about 16 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers. Christian Birkness has done a brilliant job of arranging this magnificent music for three Tubas (suggested 2 Tubas in F and 1 in C).

In spite of their drastically reduced instrumental resources, these works are indeed ‘Italian’ concertos, and feature distinguishable solo episodes and ritornellos. As do Boismortier’s other surviving concertos, they provide evidence of the composer’s ingenuity and originality, and his ability to write what are normally largescale instrumental works with the simplest of means.

Ordinary violin sonatas formed the backbone of the series of ten collections that the Italian violinist Michel Mascitti (1663/4–1760), born in southern Italy but permanently resident in Paris from 1703, committed to print between 1704 and 1738. His Op. 7 (1727) opens with eight such sonatas but ends with four concertos for strings in six parts that, alongside a collection of concertos for five flutes (!) by J.B. de Boismortier published in the same year, inaugurate the proud tradition of concertos created on French soil. Amazingly, Mascitti’s concertos have been neglected not merely by publishers and performers but also by commentators. In particular, the first two concertos display great musical merit in an original idiom that combines Italian and French influences in a very personal way. Further, their Italianate elements juxtapose features familiar from the concertos of Corelli, Mascitti’s reputed teacher, with ones more usually associated with Vivaldi. Both concertos are laden with emotion, albeit never at the expense of the polish and attention to detail that are the hallmark of Mascitti’s craft.
