Description:
Alfred Masterwork Editions present J.S. Bach's Prelude & Fugue No.2 in C Minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier, Volume I for the Keyboard. This is the most frequently performed of all the preludes and fugues from the two volumes of J.S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier. This popularity is easy to understand. The prelude has the character of a brilliant improvisation. It stirs one to try to imagine how Bach himself might have played extempore. The fugue has a memorable "tune" that is so perfectly suited to Bach's purpose that no one can fail to appreciate this marvel from the master contrapuntist's hand. Edited by Willard A. Palmer.
