Description

The renowned pianist András Schiff, a prominent figure among Bach enthusiasts due to his comprehensive recordings of Bach’s piano compositions, has supplied 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, published in 1997, and Yo Tomita’s revision of Part II, released in the spring of 2007. The distinguished Bach scholar Tomita elaborates on the intricate source issues pertaining to Part II in an extensive preface. Additionally, a detailed commentary concludes the edition. Both volumes of the Well-Tempered Clavier are also offered as Henle Urtext editions without fingerings, as well as in study editions.
