Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier Bk1
15 videos • 1,037 views • by Michael Maxwell Steer This is the second part of my project to record all 48 preludes & fugues on my old Bechstein, with a scrolling score for study purposes. You will find some amusing lyrics that fit the fugue subjects at http://msteer.co.uk/creative/bach48ly... (a homage to Ebenezer Prout qv). To me these pieces are one of the great sacred texts of music, and every year I have played throu them as a form of musical meditation. In 2008 I thought I should really learn & record them properly. At that point I realised how little I really knew them, and fitting the learning process between other priorities meant that I didnt record the first batch http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=... until 2010. A further year then elapsed before I was ready to record this set.
