At the centre of this production are the sonatas for keyboard instruments BWV 963-970 by J. S. Bach, which are relatively unknown and only rarely performed, recorded or published. The Italian pianist Francesco Tropea came across these musical treasures during his research in the library of the Mozarteum in Salzburg and realised that there are only a few recordings of this music, mostly on old instruments and rarely on a modern piano. He was therefore grateful for the opportunity to be able to explore these comparatively little-known compositions – two of which are still completely unpublished (no piano recordings of the sonatas BWV 969 and 970 exist to date) – composed by one of the most important geniuses in the history of music.
