Description J.S Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier For The Piano Book I Forty -Eight Preludes and Fugues for the Piano in two volumes. Songlist Forty-eight Preludes And Fugues Nos 1-24

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).

An extensive volume filled with fugues from the last 350 years! Beginning with works by Frescobaldi Scarlatti Giambattista and Handel this collection features several compositions by the fugue's most famous expositor Johann Sebastian Bach including many pieces from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Contributions from latter-day composers include works by Mozart Beethoven Mendelssohn Robert and Clara Schumann Brahms and Saint-Saëns.
