The Well-Tempered Clavier II, BWV 870-893

Author: Johann Sebastian Bach

Description:
The second volume of The Well-Tempered Clavier has survived in two distinct manuscript traditions. Unlike previous editions that merged these sources into a single hybrid version, this Urtext edition presents each piece in the version that contains the most of Bach’s subsequent changes, while providing significant variants as alternatives. A detailed preface by the editor explores the sources and performance practices, including the execution of ornaments.

Performance Notes:
This collection of 24 preludes and fugues in all major and minor keys is an essential work for keyboard players. Whether for study or concert performance, this edition allows musicians to explore the nuances of Bach’s counterpoint and interpretation while considering historical performance practices.

About the Composer:
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) was a German Baroque composer and musician. His work profoundly influenced the development of Western classical music, particularly in the areas of counterpoint, harmony, and fugue. His compositions, including The Well-Tempered Clavier, Brandenburg Concertos, and Mass in B Minor, remain widely performed and studied.
