• This volume brings together a wide selection of Bach s keyboard compositions, including many pieces difficult to find in other editions. Included are several well-known works: the important harpsichord toccatas, the Capriccio on the Departure of His Most Beloved Brother, the Aria Variata alla Maniera Italiana, and the Six Little Preludes, as well as many lesser-known but significant pieces — fugues, sonatas, and other works — over 40 in all. Reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel edition, the music in this inexpensive yet well-made volume offers pianists a rich selection of interesting works stamped with the melodic and rhythmic invention and harmonic audacity characteristic of Bach.

  Reprint of selections from Johann Sebastian Bach s Werke, Series 3, 36, 42, 43, and 44, Breitkopf & Härtel, Leipzig, 1890, 1894, and 1897.
