J S Bach Miscellaneous Works for Piano II
Although Johann Sebastian Bach’s vocal music fell largely into oblivion after his death, his keyboard music continued to be played. In addition to his large-scale collections, a number of works that survived in isolation were already highly popular during the eighteenth century. Foremost among these was the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, BWV 903, followed by the C-minor Fantasy, BWV 906 (see volume 2, BA 5233).
Many of these isolated pieces were early works that were unable to take firm hold in the repertoire. Nonetheless, these often impetuous compositions have a special attraction all their own to compensate for the occasional shortcomings in their formal design or compositional workmanship.
This volume unites three Fantasys and fugues (BWV 904, 906, and 944), the Prelude and Fugue after Albinoni in B minor (BWV 923 and 951), the Sonata in A minor (BWV 967), and those clavier fugues that have come down to us in isolated source traditions.
