The Concerto According to Italian Taste or Italienisches Konzert, BWV 971 published in 1735 as the first half of the Clavier-Übung II is a three-movement concerto for solo harpsichord from two manuals by J.S. Bach.
The Italian concerto, as a style, is based on the contrasting roles of two different groups of instruments in an ensemble: Bach emulates this effect, creating contrast through the different manuals.
This is, along with the French Overture and some of the Goldberg Variations, one of the fre pieces by this composer that specifically calls for a two-manual instrument.
