The Well-Tempered Clavier BWV 846893 is a collection of two series of Preludes and Fugues in all 24 major and minor keys composed for solo keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the German of Bachs time Clavier keyboard was a generic name indicating a variety of keyboard instruments most typically a harpsichord or clavichord but not excluding an organ either. The modern German spelling for the collection is Das wohltemperierte Klavier. Bach gave the title Das Wohltemperirte Clavier to a book of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys dated 1722 composed for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study. Some 20 years later Bach compiled a second book of the same kind which became known as The Well-Tempered Clavier Part Two in German: Zweyter Theil modern spelling: Zweiter Teil. ---------------------- bach jsbach johannsebastianbach baroque norway Robert Riefling RobertRiefling,
