The Well-Tempered Clavier

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Angela Hewitt

The Well-Tempered Clavier is a collection of solo keyboard pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled in two books in 1722 and 1742. The pieces are written in every major and minor key and pair short preludes with contrapuntal fugues, and the set influenced keyboard technique, the use of well temperament and later keyboard composition and pedagogy.
