The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, Preludes and Fugues 9-16

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, Preludes and Fugues 9-16 is a sequence of keyboard compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1722 as part of the first book of The Well-Tempered Clavier. These pieces exemplify Baroque keyboard counterpoint and systematic tonal organisation through paired preludes and fugues across different keys, reflecting Bach's exploration of temperament and influencing subsequent keyboard composition and pedagogy.
