The world-famous pianist Andras Schiff, a most familiar name to Bach fans on account of his complete recordings of Bach's 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 Henle's revised edition of Part I published in 1997 and Yo Tomita's brand new 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.
This title has selections that range in difficulty from SMP Level 9-10.

Best edition!
As with all Henle books, this edition is beautifully printed and beautifully bound. The content is by far the best researched and most accurate of any edition. Book II of the Well Tempered Clavier is unbelievably complex and very difficult to play. I have learned so far 9 preludes and...

Wonderful Edition of Bach
Henle is truly my go-to edition when it comes to Bach, Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann. They're very well laid out, the engraving is beautifully done and extremely legible, and they are some of the most scholarly editions in print. I highly recommend them. I also recommend comparing them to other...

One of the best editions on the market
The Henle editions of Bach's keyboard works are unsurpassed for their clear engraving and non-glare paper. They are a joy to use in rehearsing and learning a piece. I plan to complete my library of Bach's solo keyboard works entirely with Henle editions.
