Summary of This Score
This score brings together a coherent set of pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach for solo piano, focused on learning and progression. It includes the Little Preludes from the "Pianobook" intended for W.F. Bach (BWV 924-928, 930, 931), as well as 6 Little Preludes for Beginners (BWV 933-938) and another 6 Little Preludes (BWV 939-943, 999). This short and concentrated corpus is perfect for establishing good setup habits, developing a sense of Baroque phrasing, and gaining fluency in various keys.
The collection goes further by introducing accessible contrapuntal forms, including a Fughetta in C minor (BWV 961), fugues in C major (BWV 952 and 953), as well as pieces combining prelude and fugue or prelude and fughetta (BWV 899, 900, 895). These pieces provide an excellent bridge between studying short pieces and beginning fugue work: voice listening, clarity of touch, balance of sound layers, and rhythmic precision. An ideal selection to enrich your piano repertoire with Bach, whether in lessons, conservatory, or self-study.
