Bach -- The Well-Tempered Clavier, Vol 1: Comb Bound Book (Alfred Masterwork Edition)

A most impressive 220-page edition of the first volume of The Well-Tempered Clavier, these 24 preludes and 24 fugues were painstakingly researched over a period of 10 years, using the most important original manuscript sources. Baroque scholar Willard A. Palmer's thorough introduction discusses fugal construction, articulation and other aspects of performance interpretation. Volume I of The Well-Tempered Clavier has been updated with a new look to match Volume II. This essential masterpiece is a must-have for all pianists. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance.
