G. Henle Verlag J.S. Bach: At the Piano - Hewig-Troscher - Book

16 Well-Known Original Pieces in Progressive Order

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Editor: Sylvia Hewig-Troscher
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Piano

Johann Sebastian Bach is more or less the alpha and omega of piano playing: there is hardly a piano pupil who did not start off with his little preludes or his inventions. And almost all pianists regard his Well-tempered Clavier as an unsurpassed highpoint in the history of piano music. This volume follows these well-trodden paths, but not without the occasional sideways glance at some less prominent pieces by the Master, such as his picturesque "Capriccio on the departure of a beloved brother".
