The Well-Tempered Clavier Part I-The Well-Tempered Clavier was the title given to the book of twenty-four preludes and fugues in all the major and minor keys which was composed and compiled during Bachâ??s appointment in Kothen in 1722. Bach later wrote afurther twenty-four preludes and fugues and so the forty-eight preludes and fugues eventually became collectively known as the Well-Tempered Clavier Parts 1 And 2.Bach composed the Well-Tempered Clavier Part1 â??for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study.â?? Even today these forty-eight preludes and fugues remain a necessity to all advancingpianists wishing to develop secure and perfect technique and technical control.The Well-Tempered Clavier is a major work of great breadth and depth and musical aesthetic and psychological diversity andcomplexity. This Urtext edition edited by Ernst-Gunter Heinemann and fingered by Andras Schiff provides you with an accurate realisation of the composerâ??s original intentions with thorough and detailed editorial markings andsuggestions.

[Das Wohltemperierte Klavier I BWV 846-869] / Classique / Editeur : Ernst-Günter Heinemann / Partition de poche / Broché / Edition Urtext / Nouvelle édition révisée

Apart from various insignificant emendations relating to accidentals and ornamentation this 1997 revision of Bach's Welltempered Clavier contains a remarkable correction in the musical text of the B minor prelude which so far has not been included in any modern edition. The present Wiener Urtext Edition deviates from the autograph which seems erroneous in bar 11 and was never revised by Bach himself and instead follows the musically more logical early version which is supported by a correction by J.Fr. Agricola dating from his studies with Bach (ca. 1740).

Hormis les diverses corrections insignifiantes concernant des altérations et l'ornementation, cette révision de 1997 de Bach Welltempered Clavier contient une correction remarquable dans le texte musical de prélude mineure b qui a jusqu'à présent pas été inclus dans une édition moderne. La présente édition de Urtext Wiener s'écarte de l'autographe qui semble erronée en bar 11 et a été révisée jamais de Bach lui-même et suit plutôt la version primitive musicalement plus logique qui est appuyée par une correction par J.Fr. Agricola datant de ses études avec Bach (ca. 1740). / Piano / Partition
