Product Description

Opus/Catalog Number: BWV 846
Key/Tone: C Major
Movements/Sections: 1/2 (Prelude)
Year/Date of Composition: 1722 in Das wohltemperierte Klavier I (No.1)
Difficulty: Grade 7/12 (Intermediate)
Obs.: This piece is probably the easiest composition in Bach's Well-Tempered Klavier.
The Prelude appears also in the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (1725). This notebook was filled with favorite selections of the members of the Bach family.
There is also a slightly different version of this prelude, known as Prelude BWV 846A, in the Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. Bach's Prelude BWV 846 consists of a simple progression of arpeggiated chords. It is one of Johann Sebastian Bach's most famous compositions for the keyboard.
Some sources show a trill of the last E of measure 34. If playing this trill, be sure to start it on the upper auxiliary note.
This piece served as the inspiration for Gounod's Ave Maria.
