Four Preludes and Fugues

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.

Virtuoso jazz in classical form: Nikolai Kapustin (b. 1937) is an excellent jazz pianist arranger and composer. His piano sonatas are now published by Schott Music for the first time. Suitable for pianists looking for technically demanding pieces between modern and jazz music which sound like highly skilled yet notated improvisation. Kapustin's monumental set of Preludes and Fugues Op.82 completed in 1997 may well be the most important work written for piano in the genre since Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues Op.87. In this sprawling collection Kapustin combines his complete mastery of jazzidioms with a thorough assimilation of contrapunctal techniques like canon imitation inversion and augmentation. Ingenuously each prelude and fugue pair share their motivic material.
