The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Wanda Landowska

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II is a collection of solo keyboard preludes and fugues by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled around 1742. The pieces systematically explore all major and minor keys within the Baroque keyboard tradition, exemplifying contrapuntal technique and tempered tuning while occupying an important place in Bach's mature output and in the development of Western keyboard repertoire.
