Product Description

This short and easy arrangement for wood quintet of this unique composition for harpsichord was written preserving the didactic essence from which its original version was written. Ideal for young music beginners in recital performances or even academic concerts, which does not prevent professional groups from playing it in professional programs or repertoire.

The Well-Tempered Clavier, BWV 846893, is two sets of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys for keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the composer's time Clavier, meaning keyboard, indicated a variety of instruments, most typically the harpsichord or clavichord but not excluding the organ. Together the two volumes of The Well-Tempered Clavier consist of 24 preludes paired with 24 fugues. Bach completed the first book while employed at the royal court in Köthen (Cothen) in the 1720s and the second some two decades later in Leipzig, where he had been appointed director of church music for the city. The pieces were intended as pedagogical exercises to give keyboard players experience in working with the chords, scales, and arpeggios in each key.
