Don't take the album title too literally; it is drawn from that of BWV989 and is the focus of neither the programme nor the annotation. The language used in Bach's original titles overall (or individual movements) is usually an indication of the 'national' style he had in mind, here sorting most of the Italian from the French, but the title of BWV992 is given primarily in French and the Italian original is omitted, whilst that of the final movement appears only as a translation. A few literals have escaped the proof-reader's eye, of which I urge you not to believe the words on the back of the jewel-case: 'The disc, compromising works for keyboard … '.
