The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book One

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Mieczysław Horszowski

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book One is a collection of preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1722. Written for keyboard, the work systematically explores all major and minor keys through concise contrapuntal pieces that demonstrate early equal-temperament practice and influenced harmonic and pedagogical approaches in Western art music.
