The Well-Tempered Clavier Book II, Preludes and Fugues 1-8

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II: Preludes and Fugues 1–8 is a collection of keyboard works by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled around 1742. These Baroque preludes and fugues exemplify contrapuntal writing, tonal exploration across keys and advanced keyboard technique, and form the later counterpart to Book I, reflecting Bach's mature engagement with tempered tuning and pedagogical aims in his keyboard repertoire.
