Miscellaneous keyboard works: toccatas, fugues, and other pieces : from the Bach-Gesellschaft editionThis volume brings together a wide selection of Bach's keyboard compositions, including many pieces difficult to find in other editions. Included are several well-known works: the important harpsichord toccatas, the "Capriccio on the Departure of His Most Beloved Brother," the "Aria Variata alla Maniera Italiana," and the "Six Little Preludes," as well as many lesser-known but significant pieces fugues, sonatas, and other works over 40 in all. Reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf and Hartel edition, the music in this inexpensive yet well-made volume offers pianists a rich selection of interesting works stamped with the melodic and rhythmic invention and harmonic audacity characteristic of Bach. |
