Product description
Bach’s easiest preludes and fughettas have become a permanent feature of piano lessons. Unfortunately, almost all the well-known collections still contain a number of preludes whose authenticity has long been questioned and which are now known to be spurious. This collection takes the latest research findings into account and contains only those works firmly attributed to Bach.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.
