The Well‐Tempered Clavier Book I: Preludes and Fugues 17–24

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I (Preludes and Fugues 17–24) is a book of keyboard compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1722. These pieces exemplify Baroque counterpoint and keyboard writing, alternating concise prelude forms with intricate fugues that explore tonal relationships across different keys and illustrate Bach's experimental use of well temperament and his development as a composer.
