48 Preludes and Fugues Book II-A monument in the history of Western music The Well-Tempered Clavier represents not only the culmination of J. S. Bach's own maturation process but also the impetus for the emerging style and structure of modern Keyboardmusic.

Modern pianists can followSchumann's advice with this new edition of an authoritative and long-out-of-print score that offers illuminating perspectives from a pair of eminent musical interpreters.Book II of this two-volume set features Sir DonaldFrancis Tovey's analyses of 24 preludes and fugues including suggestions for performance. In addition to commentaries by Tovey a lauded Bach scholar and world-famous musicologist the pieces are complemented by fingeringsdevised by Harold Samuel a major Bach interpreter. Students teachers and professionals will appreciate this finely engraved and modestly priced version of Bach's enduring works.Reprint of the Associated Board of theRoyal School of Music 1924 edition.

Under the title of 'Kleinere Werke' [Small Works] the second volume of Organ works by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach in the Wiener Urtext Edition contains all works written by the composer except for the multi-movement sonatas for Organ: preludes fugues trio chorale arrangements and pieces for musical clock. The fugues in particular prove that C. Ph. E. Bach was an attentive pupil of his father. The music theoretician Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg appreciated these fugues so much that he included some of them as examples in his theoretical writings. The pieces for musical clock are a varied selection of pieces in the style galant which were originallywritten for mechanical instruments and which are best to be performed on the organ. Together with the Organ sonatas published in Vol. 1 this is probably the most comprehensive collection of works by Bach's second eldest son which can be performed on the Organ.

Bach's towering musical achievement was to present in its final shape the 'fabric of polyhony' (Grove Dictionary). This is no more axiomatic than in his Preludes and Fugues for Organ. Regarded as the world's greatest composer for organ Bach coupled mastery of the instrument with his genius for composition to produce some of the richest and most beautiful music of all time. This comprehensive volume - reproduced directly from the authoritave Bach-Gesellschaft edition - reprints 25 sets of preludes and fugues i.e compositions written as fugues. Individual Preludes and Fugues composed over the years are not included.

Just back from a trip to Leipzig in the early autumn of 1950 where he heard Bach's Well-Tempered Klavier at the Bicentennial Bach Competition played by the Russian pianist Tatiana Nikolaeva Shostakovich began his own series of 24 Preludes and Fugues Op. 87 based on Bach's model. He composed them quickly starting on October 10 1950 and finishing on February 23 1951. While his work would pay homage to Bach Shostakovich's work would have several fundamental differences. First the order of the individual pieces would be organized around the circle of fifths with a prelude and fugue in the relative minor following each major key piece rather than in ascending semi-tonalorder of Bach's work. Second Shostakovich's pieces would be composed in order — that is C major - A minor followed by G major - E minor followed by D major - B minor — and more significantly this order would have a sort of subliminal narrative sub-text taking the music from the 'innocent' tonal world of the C major Prelude and Fugue to the profound and sublime severity of the concluding D minor Prelude and Fugue. Finally Shostakovich's work although conservative in its counterpoint and harmony — that is there are no examples of invertible or reversible themes or counterpoint and the pieces are for the most part recognizably tonal in language — is still clearly the work of a modernist composer; his counterpoint and harmony may be conservative but the emotional and spiritual worlds of the preludes and fugues is at once sincere and ironic. The result is a work which can not only stand comparison with Bach's Well-Tempered Klavier it is both Shostakovich's masterpiece for the piano and one of the contrapuntal masterpieces of the twentieth century.

Fantasies Preludes and Fugues-Contrairement aux grands recueils des partitas à ceux des suites françaises et anglaises les fantaisies de Bach et ses préludes et fugues hormis ceux du Clavier bien tempéré ne sont pas parvenus à la postérité sous forme de cycles. Peut-être est-ce parce que peu d?entre eux ont atteint une notoriété aussi importante. Seules la célèbre Fantaisie chromatique et fugue BWV 903/903a et la grande fantaisie en ut mineur BWV 919 ont trouvé une place permanente dans le répertoire de concert des pianistes. Certaines des ?uvres rassemblées dans ce volume sont des ?uvres de jeunesse d?excellente facture qui si elles ne présentent pas encore la maîtrise de Bach à sa maturité témoignent de la fraîcheur de sa force d?invention.
