Description
This remarkable edition of the first volume of The Well-Tempered Clavier features 24 preludes and fugues that have been meticulously researched over a decade, drawing from the most significant original manuscript sources. The introduction by Baroque scholar Willard A. Palmer offers an in-depth exploration of fugal construction, articulation, and various performance interpretations. This essential work is indispensable for pianists, complemented by an exceptional CD recording from the Naxos Label.
