The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Edwin Fischer

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I is a collection of keyboard preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled in 1722. The work systematically explores all major and minor keys to demonstrate the possibilities of well-tempered tuning and sets out contrapuntal and keyboard-writing techniques that occupy an important place in Bach's output and in the development of Western tonal practice.
