The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Vladimir Feltsman

The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I is a collection of keyboard pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1722. Organised as paired preludes and fugues in all major and minor keys, the music exemplifies Baroque counterpoint and demonstrates the practicality of well-tempered tuning for keyboard instruments, occupying a central place in Bach's keyboard output and the development of Western tonal practice.
