Summary of This Score
This "Urtext der Neuen Bach-Ausgabe" edition gathers a particularly useful set of brief pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, designed for daily keyboard practice and building a solid piano technique. It first includes the "Sechs kleine Präludien": Praeludium 1 C major BWV 933, Praeludium 2 c minor BWV 934, Praeludium 3 d minor BWV 935, Praeludium 4 D major BWV 936, Praeludium 5 E major BWV 937, and Praeludium 6 e minor BWV 938, a coherent progression to approach phrasing, regularity, and rhythmic precision.
The collection then opens with "Kleine Praeludien aus dem Klavierbüchlein für W. Fr. Bach," including notably Praeludium d minor BWV 926, Praeludium C major BWV 846a, Praeambulum F major BWV 927, Praeabulum g minor BWV 930, Praeludium F major BWV 928, Praeludium c minor BWV 847, Praeludium d minor BWV 851, and Praeludium C major BWV 924a. These concise yet rich pieces are ideal for working on voice placement, accents, as well as clear and singing Baroque articulation.
Finally, the volume offers "Praeludien und Fughetten aus unterschiedlicher Überlieferung," including Praeludium c minor for lute BWV 999, Praeludium E-flat major from Suite E-flat major BWV 815a, Älteres Praeludium zur Fughetta G major BWV 902/1a and Fughetta G major BWV 902/2, Fughetta c minor BWV 961, as well as more developed sets like Praeludium und Fughetta d minor BWV 899, Praeludium und Fughetta e minor BWV 855a, and Praeludium und Fuge A major BWV 896. An excellent choice to move from "study" preludes to a more assertive contrapuntal language, while remaining in formats accessible for regular practice.
