The Well-Tempered Clavier

Apart from various insignificant emendations relating to accidentals and ornamentation, this 1997 revision of Bach's Welltempered Clavier contains a remarkable correction in the musical text of the B minor prelude which so far has not been included in any modern edition. The present Wiener Urtext Edition deviates from the autograph which seems erroneous in bar 11, and was never revised by Bach himself, and instead follows the musically more logical early version which is supported by a correction by J.Fr. Agricola dating from his studies with Bach (ca. 1740).Pages : 152Niveau : facile - moyen / Piano / Wiener Urtext Edition

Bach, Johann Sebastian Johann Sebastian Bach. The Well-Tempered Clavier I BWV 846-869 ”The ‘Well-Tempered Clavier’ is the Old Testament, Beethoven's sonatas the New.We must believe in both.” Hans von Bülow The preludes and fugues of “The Well-Tempered Clavier” embrace an entire cosmos of compositional devices and musical characters – the “ne plus ultra” of ‘unity through diversity’. Here Bach not only presented the sum total of keyboard artistry in his day but foresaw its future evolution.His treatment of the keys marked a turning point in music history. The autograph score, originally a fair copy, contains later revisions and alterations reflecting the composer at work. This new facsimile edition presents the manuscript in high-quality four-colour reproduction. Bach authority Christoph Wolff provides a Commentary to the work’s genesis and the characteristics of Bach’s handwriting. Martina Rebmann(Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) describes the subsequent history of the autograph.

The basis for the musical text of this edition without fingerings was Henle's revised edition of Part I published in 1997 and Yo Tomita's brand new revision of Part II (spring 2007). The eminent Bach scholar Tomita discusses the complicated source situation of Part II in an extensive preface. A detailed commentary rounds off the edition. Both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier are also available as Henle Urtext editions with fingerings (HN 16) and as study editions without fingerings (HN 9016).? / Piano
