The famous Prelude and Fugue No. 1 in C major from the legendary The Well-Tempered Clavier, by the Baroque master J.S. Bach, is arranged for Flute, Con Anglais (English Horn), Clarinet in Bb, Bassoon. The 4-part voices in the prelude and fugue are carefully arranged and assigned to each of the 4 instruments to suit their range and tone colour, without sacrificing the style and the tone of Baroque music and the voice of Bach.
All the tempo and dynamics in the full score and parts are optional - they are just a suggestion from the arranger, and the composer himself did not provide much tempo indicaton and dynamics either, so it is up to the players to find their own voice and dynamics to suit their own needs.
