Miscellaneous Keyboard Works. Toccatas, Fugues and Other Pieces

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Obras variadas para teclado. Tocatas, fugas y otras piezas.

This volume brings together a wide selection of Bach's keyboard compositions, including many pieces difficult to find in other editions. Included are several well-known works: the important harpsichord toccatas, the Capriccio on the Departure of His Most Beloved Brother, the Aria Variata alla Maniera Italiana and the Six Little Preludes, as well as many lesser-known but significant pieces-fugues, sonatas and other works-over 40 in all. Reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel edition, the music in this inexpensive yet well-made volume offers pianists a rich selection of interesting works stamped with the melodic and rhythmic invention and harmonic audacity characteristic of Bach.

Republication of portions of Johann Sebastian Bach's Werke, Series 3, 36, 42, 43 and 45, published by Breitkopf & Härtel, Leipzig, 1890, 1894, 1897.
