Bwv 846-893 Book 1: Nos 1 To 24. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The first part of Bach's J. S. Bach: 48 Preludes And Fugues, from the Well-Tempered Clavier, as edited by Carl Czerny./ Répertoire / Piano

Frédéric Chopin's 24 Préludes were created successively between 1836 and 1839; it was only in the fair copy of 1839 that they were compiled as a cycle - virtually following the example of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Unlike with Bach however Chopin's Préludes are not followed by fugues as they themselves have mutated into romantic character pieces which express a range of very different moods. The technically easier ones of these miniatures are perfect as an introduction to playing Chopin all the more so since they include the probably most famous piece of the cycle the so-called 'Raindrop'Prélude. Intended to provide both students and music lovers with an inspiring access to the tonal world of Chopin the present edition of selected pieces of the Wiener Urtext Edition has been designed accordingly.

The preludes and fugues in this collection are ideal for students who are ready to begin the study of Bach's greatest contribution to keyboard literature. Keith Snell has carefully selected the nine preludes and fugues thatrepresent the most consistently successful choices for students. A great introduction and an economical alternative for students who are hesitant to invest in the complete Well-Tempered Clavier.
