The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2, Preludes and Fugues 17-24

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2, Preludes and Fugues 17-24 is a set of keyboard pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, part of the second book compiled around 1742. These works exemplify Baroque contrapuntal writing and the exploration of equal temperament, pairing intricate preludes with multi-voice fugues across a wide range of keys and reflecting Bach's mature keyboard style and pedagogical concerns within his later compositional period.
