Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Volume 1

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Richard Egarr

Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Volume 1 is a collection of keyboard preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled in 1722. The set systematically explores all 24 major and minor keys to demonstrate the possibilities of well-tempered tuning and to provide pedagogical material for keyboard technique, while also establishing a model for later keyboard composition and approaches to key modulation.
