Clavier-Übung II

Clavier-Übung II is a collection of harpsichord compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was published in 1735. Written for performance on a two-manual harpsichord, it contrasts the Italian style of that time with the French style. While the Italian style is represented by the Italian Concerto, BWV 971, the French style is represented by the suite Overture in the French style, BWV 831.
