Prelude and Fugue in f-sharp minor from Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I Johann Sebastian Bach
Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, two books of 24
preludes and fugues covering all the major and minor keys, has remained a
pinnacle in the keyboard repertoire for almost 300 years. While not consistently performed in public
over that span, pianists and composers (including the composers on today's
program) have made studying these contrapuntal masterpieces central to their
development as artists. The two selected
here are a fine representation of the oeuvre, with the f-sharp minor fugue in
particular a towering achievement. Michael Mizrahi
