The Well‐Tempered Clavier, Book 2

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Andrew Rangell

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2 is a collection of keyboard preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled circa 1742. Composed in Baroque contrapuntal style, the 24 paired pieces traverse every major and minor key to demonstrate well-tempered tuning and stand as a late-period culmination of Bach's keyboard writing with lasting impact on Western keyboard technique and composition.
