Description

The renowned pianist András Schiff, a prominent figure among Bach enthusiasts due to his comprehensive recordings of Bach’s piano compositions, has offered fingerings for both volumes of the Well-Tempered Clavier. In a thorough preface, he addresses various elements of performance practice. The musical text is based on Henle’s revised edition of Part I, released in 1997, and Yo Tomita’s revision of Part II, published in Spring 2007. Additionally, a detailed commentary complements the editions. Both volumes of the Well-Tempered Clavier are also available as Henle Urtext editions without fingerings, as well as in study editions.
