Bach, J.S. : Prelude & Fugue in C Minor, BWV 847 – Well-Tempered Klavier, Book 1

Playing for you J.S.Bach’s Prelude and Fugue n°2 in C Minor, BWV 847, from his well-tempered clavier (Wohltemperiertes Clavier), book 1, on my Saxon Clavichord. The serious, “ernsthaft”, reflective mood or affect, that Bach continues from the well known prelude into the fugue gives a special kind of emotion, a feel that’ll stay long after the last not sounded. At least… that is what I tried to achieve…!

The coming months/year, we’ll add two more such projects to the channel, to come to the YouTube release of the 24 p&f’s of book one, after which, similar to the Partitas, all 24 will be rerecorded for release on CD /Vinyl.

Hope you enjoy !
