Book SynopsisThe Well-Tempered Clavier is published as part of ABRSM's 'Signature' Series - a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works, prepared from original sources by leading scholars. Includes informative introductions and performance notes. Winner of the Music Retailers Association's Standard Publication Award for 1994.Trade ReviewAs a scholarly reference, this edition is probably unsurpassable...a rightly-lauded triumph of scholarship, it should be on the shelf of every musician. * Music Teacher *Whatever other publishers produce, it is likely that, in the UK, the best-selling edition of the 48 will be the one published by the Associated Board. * Early Music News *This will be the standard text in the UK and worldwide, alongside all the other marvellous Bach, Schubert and Brahms editions already in Signature volumes. * Classical Piano *Whatever your chosen instrument, this is not only a fine editorial achievement, but also a compendium of both wisdom and pleasure virtually without equal. * Harpsichord and Fortepiano *The best English-language edition so far. Contains very useful material on manuscript sources, variants, and performance questions. A bonus is the inclusion of Donald Francis Tovey's classic analyses of each prelude and fugue, along with the editor's helpful caveats. * Early Music America *Table of Contents24 Preludes and Fugues, BWV 846-869 ; Praeludium 1 in C, BWV 846/1 ; Fuga 1. a 4. in C, BWV 846/2 ; Praeludium 2 in c minor, BWV 847/1 ; Fuga 2. a 3. in c minor, BWV 847/2 ; Praeludium 3 in C sharp, BWV 848/1 ; Fuga 3. a 3. in C sharp, BWV 848/2 ; Praeludium 4 in c sharp minor, BWV 849/1 ; Fuga 4. a 5. in c sharp minor, BWV 849/2 ; Praeludium 5 in D, BWV 850/1 ; Fuga 5. a 4. in D, BWV 850/2 ; Praeludium 6 in d minor, BWV 851/1 ; Fuga 6. a 3. in d minor, BWV 851/2 ; Praeludium 7 in E fllat, BWV 852/1 ; Fuga 7. a 3. in E flat, BWV 852/2 ; Praeludium 8 in e flat/d sharp minor, BWV 853/1 ; Fuga 8. a 3. in e flat/d sharp minor, BWV 853/2 ; Praeludium 9 in E, BWV 854/1 ; Fuga 9. a 3. in E, BWV 854/2 ; Praeludium 10 in e minor, BWV 855/1 ; Fuga 10. a 2. in e minor, BWV 855/2 ; Praeludium 11 in F, BWV 856/1 ; Fuga 11. a 3. in F, BWV 856/2 ; Praeludium 12 in f minor, BWV 857/1 ; Fuga 12. a 4. in f minor, BWV 857/2 ; Praeludium 13 in F sharp, BWV 858/1 ; Fuga 13. a 3. in F sharp, BWV 858/2 ; Praeludium 14 in f sharp minor, BWV 859/1 ; Fuga 14. a 4. in f sharp min

Book SynopsisIn 1725 Johann Sebastian Bach wrote two keyboard suites for his wife Anna Magdalena, whom he married in 1721. These became the first entries in a book in which, over the next twenty years, were gathered together both keyboard pieces and vocal works by Johann Sebastian and his two sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Christian as well as such composers as Couperin, Böhm, Petzold and Hasse. An illuminating portrait of domestic music-making in the Bach family during the Leipzig period, this authoritative new edition of the book contains the keyboard pieces only, including the well-known Minuet in G and Prelude in C, from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Part I, and more substantial items such as C. P. E. Bach's Solo per il Cembalo in E flat (early versions of Partitas Nos. 3 and 6 and French Suites Nos. 1 and 2 are excluded). This first-class edition, providing an important and attractive introduction to the Baroque style, also contains invaluable advice on appropriate tempo, phrasing, articulation and ornamentation in accordance with contemporary performance practice.Trade ReviewA highly commendable edition, enabling players to set Bach's music in the context of pieces which he thought useful for students. * Early Music Review *Table of ContentsMenuet in F, BWV Anh.

Book SynopsisSeveral transcripts have been made of Johann Sebastian Bach's lute works over the past 150 years. Due to the simultaneous harmonic and melodic character of the lute and the lute harpsichord, favored by Bach, these usually evoke the original sound with a combination of several instruments (for example, Zoltan Kodaly's transcription of the lute prelude in C minor for cello and piano). The joint work of cellist Tamas Zetenyi (*1985) and composer Marcell Dargay (*1980) is exceptional in that respect that it transfers all movements of the lute suite in C minor, including the fugue, to a single cello. The publication also includes an ornamented version of the sarabande.
