Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier Part II BWV 870-893

Johann Sebastian Bach

Yo Tomita (Editor)

Andrs Schiff (Fingering)

The world-famous pianist Andrs Schiff, a most familiar name to Bach fans on account of his complete recordings of Bachs piano works, has provided fingerings for both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier. He discusses aspects of performance practice in a detailed preface. The basis for the musical text was Henles revised edition of Part I published in 1997 and Yo Tomitas revision of Part II (spring 2007). The eminent Bach scholar Tomita discusses the complicated source situation of Part II in an extensive preface. A detailed commentary rounds off the edition. Both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier are also available as Henle Urtext editions without fingerings and as study editions.
