Summary of This Score
This collection brings together over 20 of Bach's most frequently performed organ compositions, offering direct access to the essence of his language: architecture, counterpoint, harmonic tension, and rhetorical sense. It features emblematic pieces that are pillars of the repertoire, starting with the Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565, a true classic for understanding the toccata gesture and the dramatic impact of a fugue, as well as the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor BWV 582, remarkable for its construction and progression.
The selection also highlights several Fantasy and Fugue pairs (notably in C minor BWV 537 and G minor BWV 542), large-scale Toccatas (BWV 540, BWV 564), as well as preludes and fugues (BWV 566, BWV 568, BWV 569, BWV 574, BWV 575, BWV 578...). The collection includes pieces based on themes, such as the Fugue in B minor on a Corelli theme BWV 579, as well as a variant BWV 574a. Some works are indicated as incomplete (for example BWV 562 and BWV 573), allowing the study of rare fragments while remaining at the heart of Bach's style.
Thanks to the diversity of keys, textures, and forms, this score is suitable both for the organist wishing to enrich their concert repertoire and for the conservatory student eager to develop voice independence, articulation clarity, phrasing management, and mastery of counterpoint. An essential resource for working on Bach at the organ with reference works identified by their BWV numbers.
