Title The Well-Tempered Clavier I BWV 846-869 (Facsimile)

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Edited by Christoph Wolff; Martina Rebmann. This edition: facsimile. Half-leather binding. Documenta musicologica II/50 / Barenreiter Facsimile. Facsimile. BWV 846-869. 90/28 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BVK02368. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BVK02368). 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 distinguishing features include:
* A facsimile in high-quality colour printing
* Scholarly commentary
* Attractive cover design
