Fantasies, Preludes and Fugues
Piano Solo Sheet Music Book
By Johann Sebastian Bach

Item Number: HL.51480219

ISBN 9790201802190. 9x12 inches.

In contrast to the large collections of partitas, along with the French and English Suites, Bach's Fantasies and his preludes and fugues besides the Well-Tempered Clavier have not come down to us as interconnected cycles. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why only few of these works gained widespread popularity. Only the much-acclaimed Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903/903a and the great C-minor Fantasy BWV 919 have found a permanent place in pianists' concert repertoires.
