Product Description

The Prelude in E minor of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier is deeply expressive and serious-sounding piece. There are no dynamic markings in this piece, so there is just a suggestion at the beginning. Whenever the part becomes active, it should become expressive - otherwise, the half-notes are pulsing harmonic support of the melody. Otherwise, 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 probable tempo and how to add phrasing and other expression to suit the moment.

A number of the preludes and fugues in Bach's Well-tempered Clavier are suitable for strings 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.
