Das wohltemperierte Klavier, Books I & II

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Tatiana Nikolayeva

Das wohltemperierte Klavier, Books I & II is a collection of two sets of keyboard preludes and fugues by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled in 1722 (Book I) and 1742 (Book II). Spanning all major and minor keys, the two books systematically explore contrapuntal techniques and keyboard writing within the Baroque tradition and played an important role in the promotion of well-tempered tuning and in shaping later keyboard pedagogy and repertoire.
First released: 1996
