Along with Beethoven s sonatas and the purely idiomatic works for piano of Chopin and Debussy, the solo keyboard music of Johann Sebastian Bach represents the heart of the pianist s repertory; in the more specialized field of music for the organ, Bach s primacy seems beyond challenge. This listener s guide to Bach s music for the keyboard provides the interested amateur with a close but nontechnical look at these two crucial parts of the master s oeuvre. The composer s tendency to work exhaustively in tightly structured formats such as the 48 preludes and fugues of The WellTempered Clavier provides a natural framework for this study; but the power, beauty, high polish, and occasionally the sheer strangeness of Bach s imagination are carefully examined as well.
