SKU: A0.1419502
Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. Baroque,Chamber,Classical. 37 pages. Daniel Kaplan #1000937. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1419502).Arrangement by Daniel Kaplan for woodwind quintet of Bach's Prelude and Fugue No. 20 in A minor from Book 1 of The Well Tempered Clavier. This monumental fugue employs a dramatic subject that later appears in inversion, leading to some very striking counterpoint; by the end, the emotional impact is overwhelming. Kaplan is engaged in a project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players and has arranged several other great works for this ensemble, including many of his favorites from The Well Tempered Clavier (also avaiable on this website). The woodwind quintet is especially well suited for contrapuntal music since the distinctive tone colors of the wind instruments bring out the contrapuntal lines and make them clearer to the listener.
