SKU: A0.1419105
Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. Baroque,Chamber,Classical. 25 pages. Daniel Kaplan #1000535. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1419105).Arrangement by Daniel Kaplan for woodwind quintet of Bach's Prelude and Fugue No. 23 from Book 1 of The Well Tempered Clavier. Being in B Major, this is the quintessential Prelude and Fugue that couldn't be played in tune in standard baroque keyboard temperament, thus making the case for Bach's preferred temperament system (the details of which remain a mystery!). Kaplan is engaged in a project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players and has arranged several other great works for this ensemble, including many of his favorites from The Well Tempered Clavier (also available on this website). The woodwind quintet is especially well suited for contrapuntal music since the distinctive tone colors of the wind instruments bring out the contrapuntal lines and make them clearer to the listener.
