16 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments. Urtext edition for piano, edited by Sylvia Hewig-Tröscher. Difficulty: easy to advanced.

Johann Sebastian Bach is more or less the alpha and omega of piano playing: there is hardly a piano pupil who did not start off with his little preludes or his inventions. And almost all pianists regard his Well-tempered Clavier as an unsurpassed highpoint in the history of piano music.

This volume follows these well-trodden paths, but not without the occasional sideways glance at some less prominent pieces by the Master, such as his picturesque »Capriccio on the departure of a beloved brother«.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach.
