A Scholarly Edition of Bach's WTC Book 1
This is a fine volume. The music is well presented and readable, and editorial marks are clearly indicated. The notes and other material (such as alternate passages and explanations of ornaments) are interesting and helpful for understanding the music. The included recordings of the WTC are played skillfully by Jen Jand on two discs. (They're well worth the few extra dollars you spend on this version over the CD-less one!) The spiral-like binding is fairly sturdy and is certainly easier to deal with than a normal book binding. Overall, highly recommended.
