J. S. Bach At the Piano (Henle)

Johann Sebastian Bach is more or less the alpha and omega ofpiano playing: there is hardly a piano pupil who did not start off with hislittle preludes or his inventions. And almost all pianists regard his Well-tempered Clavier as an unsurpassed highpoint in the history of piano music. ThisHenlevolume follows these well-trodden paths, but not without the occasional sideways glance at some less prominent pieces by the Master, such as his picturesque “Capriccio on the departure of a beloved brother”.

A fabulous urtext edition, for the first time printed in English. A great addition to add to any pianist’s collection.
