J.s. bach: the well-tempered clavier piano: Books I and II, Complete

Ótima edição de um clássico da música ocidental. Estou extremamente satisfeito!

Sehr praktisch beide Bücher in einem Band zu haben. Sehr gut zum lesen und üben.

The Dover Edition Bach series are a facsimile of the original Bachgesellschaft edition, the reduced slightly in size (the originals are huge, unmanageable reference volumes). It is a lovely edition to play from - the notes are printed very clearly, and there is very little in the way of additional phrasing marks or playing instructions (which, with Bach, is a matter of taste and opinion). After about 25 years my old copy is starting to get a bit ragged so I have bought this again as a replacement.

The pages and the print was good. Overall very good purchase.

While it might seem valuable to have the complete Well-Tempered Clavier in one book, the usefulness of this edition is greatly reduced by its complete lack of editorial suggestions: no suggested fingerings or expressive markings. I realize these were not present in the original but for those of us who are students, not professional musicians, such additions are extremely useful. I will seek out other additions to learn and play from.
