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 keyboard music. 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 follow Schumann'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 1 of this two-volume set features Sir Donald Francis 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 fingerings devised 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.

If you look at the first bars of Ansgar Krauses arrangement (and transposition to E-minor) of the E-flat minor Prelude from Bachs Well-Tempered Clavier I and forget the famous original for a moment, you might think that the piece was originally written for guitar. Equally idiomatic are the arrangements of the other preludes in this collection, which Ansgar Krause has hand-tailored to his instrument. They stem chiefly either from the Well-Tempered Clavier or the Six Little Preludes BWV 933-938.
