Bach-wtc

In this engaging music history lecture, Carl Yaffe will discuss the fascinating story of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, including the meaning of that unusual title. A harmonic analysis of the C Major prelude in Book I will be presented, which will demonstrate why it is a useful piece not only for basic keyboard study, but for basic music theory, as well. We’ll also listen to recorded performances of several interpretations and adaptations of the Prelude, including the original pre-WTC version.
