Enrico Baiano - Johann Sebastian Bach: Das Wohltemperierte Clavier (2022)

Bach is to the history of Western music as Dante and Shakespeare are to western literature. Outstanding musical figure, with endless creative and communicative powers, he expresses and summarizes all the musical experiences of the late Renaissance and the Baroque, taking them to unequalled heights. He had an unfailing taste in synthesizing the most diverse styles and in restoring the strength of seemingly outdated forms, and an impressive capacity of structuring the musical discourse. Bach works out a new way of thinking in music, that becomes a foundational element of the European musical thought in the two successive centuries.
Das Wohltemperirte Clavier (the original spelling) represents the final and most important stage of Bach’s teaching programme, which accompanies the “youth eager to learn” from elementary to proficiency level. This programme begins with the Little Preludes, the two-part Inventions and some other Preludes which will be later integrated into Book One of WTC. Next come the three-part Sinfonias and the Suites; finally, the monumental Well-Tempered Clavier gives complete instruction on keyboard technique and interpretation, thorough-bass, composition and improvisation, counterpoint, musical form, aesthetic and rhetoric.
