Das Wohltemperirte Clavier: A Bach prelude

Listen in to this Kura Tūturu | Real Gold track to hear from music librarian Marilyn Portman on a very special first printed edition of a musical score recently donated to Auckland Libraries Heritage Collections. Das wohltemperirte Clavier, oder, Präludien und Fugen durch alle Töne. By J.S. Bach, Book I is perhaps Bach's best-loved keyboard work. Known in English as "the 48" or the "Well-Tempered Clavier", it was composed and used as a valuable teaching tool for students.
