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

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

Le clavier tempéré, préludes et fugues, No. 1 à 8 is a set of eight keyboard preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1722 as the opening pairs of The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I. The pieces exemplify Baroque keyboard counterpoint and a systematic exploration of tuning and key relationships, pairing concise preludes with structured fugues that occupy a central place in Bach's keyboard repertoire and in the development of Western tonal practice.
