The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gustav Leonhardt

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I is a 1722 collection of keyboard preludes and fugues by the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. The work systematically presents pieces in every major and minor key using well-tempered tuning, combining rigorous counterpoint and idiomatic keyboard writing and serving as a cornerstone for later developments in Western tonal practice and keyboard pedagogy.
