The purpose of this volume is to make available a substantial collection of individual Preludes & Fugues from throughout Bach’s career, many of which are relatively little played in their original form. The selection offers some useful preparatory material for those intending to study The Well-Tempered Clavier; the possibility for comparison of Bach’s compositional manner in different keys; and useful sight-reading material for more advanced players.
