Fantasies, Preludes and Fugues Piano Solo by Johann Sebastian Bach Piano Solo - Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

In contrast to the large collections of partitas, along with the French and English Suites, Bach's Fantasies and his preludes and fugues besides the Well-Tempered Clavier have not come down to us as interconnected cycles. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why only few of these works gained widespread popularity. Only the much-acclaimed Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue BWV 903/903a and the great C-minor Fantasy BWV 919 have found a permanent place in pianists' concert repertoires.

    This is it... some of Bach's best fugues ever... I have been painstakingly learning the A minor fugue and every bit of small progress is oh so worthwhile. A beautiful collection with helpful fingering and well presented.
