Info for J.S. Bach: Works for Keyboard

Previous version of music pieces subsequently used by Bach for the "Well-tempered Clavier" and the French Suites. Even in their early stages, these brief compositions exhibit the perfect mastery that characterizes the great works of Bach.

Along with these, the most notable 'Little Preludes’, and Little Preludes and Fugues, written for didactic purposes.

An absolutely curious and revealing album!

Deljavan treats the score with stylistic accuracy, freely embellishing the text in the best baroque tradition. “He is one of the most interesting pianists I have heard in my life.” (Fou Ts'ong)
