Summary of This Sheet Music
This volume from the Discovering Great Composers collection offers a progressive immersion into the work and life of Bach, a major figure of the Baroque period (circa 1600 to 1750). Designed to accompany the first years of piano study, the collection emphasizes understanding the style: clarity of voices, rhythmic precision, articulation, and a taste for counterpoint. The editorial approach also highlights musical culture by inviting the student to better know the composer and appreciate the richness of his writing.
The selection alternates essential pages and intelligently adapted arrangements for the keyboard, allowing beginners to approach famous themes very early. You will find notably a minuet, several preludes (including BWV 999, 927, and 846), two-part inventions (BWV 772 and 779), an aria from the Goldberg Variations (BWV 988), as well as notable excerpts from the vocal and orchestral repertoire such as "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" (BWV 147) or passages related to the St. Matthew Passion and the Christmas Oratorio. The collection also opens the door to great pieces made accessible on piano, such as the Toccata and Fugue BWV 565, concerto excerpts, the Badinerie BWV 1067, the Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3 BWV 1068, a chaconne (Partita No. 2 BWV 1004), and a bourrée (Lute Suite BWV 966). An excellent resource to build solid technique while playing immediately inspiring music.
