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.

16 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Johann Sebastian Bach is more or less the alpha and omega of piano playing: there is hardly a piano pupil who did not start off with his little preludes or his inventions. And almost all pianists regard his Well-tempered Clavieras an unsurpassed highpoint in the history of piano music. Our volume follows these well-trodden paths but not without the occasional sideways glance at some less prominent pieces by the Master such as his picturesque ?Capriccioon the departure of a beloved brother?.

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. Mozart Beethoven and Chopin were influenced by its polyphonic richness and depth of harmony and Schumann counseled young musicians to 'make The Well-Tempered Clavier your daily bread.' 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.

Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are, for the most part, arranged in increasing difficulty. Easy two-part chorales and dances are followed by more demanding little preludes, two-part inventions and the first Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. / Piano
