First Lessons in Bach by Johann Sebastian Bach

Schirmer Performance Editions Book Only

Description :

This beautifully presented Schirmer Performance Edition, edited by Christos Tsitsaros, offers a comprehensive selection from both volumes of the timeless Bach/Carroll Schirmer Library. Designed for early-intermediate pianists, this edition brings together some of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most charming and pedagogically valuable keyboard pieces, carefully edited with modern fingering suggestions, interpretative insights, and historically informed performance notes. The clear engraving and scholarly commentary make it an essential resource for students and teachers alike.

Performance Tips :

Each piece in this edition provides an opportunity to refine touch, phrasing, and stylistic awareness. Performers are encouraged to explore the delicate articulation and phrasing typical of Baroque dance forms, paying attention to the interplay between melody and accompaniment. Suggested fingerings by Christos Tsitsaros assist with smooth transitions and facilitate a natural hand position suitable for young or developing pianists.

Renowned for his contrapuntal mastery, harmonic depth, and expressive clarity, his works for keyboard remain foundational to piano education. His compositions in this collection, many originally written for the harpsichord or clavichord, continue to serve as timeless teaching material that develops technique, musical sensitivity, and stylistic understanding.

About the Editor :

Christos Tsitsaros is an acclaimed pianist, composer, and pedagogue. A professor of piano pedagogy at the University of Illinois, he has edited and arranged numerous publications for G. Schirmer.
