Summary of this score

This collection brings together a set of Praeludien and Fughetten (BWV) attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, designed for keyboard players wishing to explore short, concentrated, and highly formative forms. It first includes five Preludes and Fughettas (including the Praeludium und Fughetta in C major BWV 870a, as well as BWV 899, 900, 901, and 902), with particular interest in BWV 902 presented with variants : a more richly ornamented version with fingerings, and an earlier prelude as a complement.

The volume then offers five preludes from different transmission traditions (BWV 870b, 872a/1, 875a, 875/1, 884/1). This diversity of sources allows approaching Baroque music from a practical angle: comparing versions, understanding compositional choices, and refining style (ornamentation, phrasing, harmonic progressions).

Finally, the collection includes four fughettas after the copy of Johann Friedrich Agricola : they appear as early states of fugues associated with the second book of the "Wohltemperiertes Klavier," fascinating material for working on thematic logic and voice balance. An additional Fughetta (BWV 872a/2) completes the set, as a step towards an earlier version. An ideal score for study, advanced pedagogy, and improvement of contrapuntal playing on harpsichord as well as piano.
