Product Details

Product Description

The Fugue in C major of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier is a pleasant piece, naturally adaptable to string quartet because the fugue has four voices consistently. There is a building excitement in the piece as the parts enter with the theme closer and closer together. There are no dynamic markings in this piece, so you have a blank slate of interpretive gestures to enjoy exploring. The recording is, of course, just an automated rendering from a notation application and included here just for reference and to spark your imagination about how to add phrasing and other expression to suit the moment.

This piece is paired with the Prelude in C also available here but transposed to G for suitability to strings - they will still pair well.

A number of the preludes and fugues in Bach's Well-tempered Clavier are suitable for string quartet with occasional adaptations. This arrangement is one of several arrangements of these beautiful pieces that are relatively unknown to musicians who don't play the piano or harpsichord or otherwise study Bach's keyboard works - they should be better known! These gems ranging in length from a 2 to 6 minutes are useful for weddings, funerals, concerts, high school solo and ensemble performances, and other occasions. Look for other preludes and fugues on this same site.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
