Description

Bach composed these keyboard pieces in 1722/3 to instruct his eldest son, 12-year-old Wilhelm Friedemann, in keyboard playing and composition. Richard Jones's edition of the pieces, which also includes the three-part Sinfonias and additional textual commentary, is available from ABRSM in their 'Signature' Series.
