The Well-Tempered Clavier

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

The Well-Tempered Clavier is a collection of keyboard preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, presented in two books first compiled in 1722 and 1742. The music exemplifies Baroque contrapuntal writing and a systematic exploration of tuning across all major and minor keys, and it occupies a central place in the development of keyboard technique and tonal practice.
