"Das wohltemperierte Klavier"

"Das wohltemperierte Klavier" (The Well-Tempered Clavier) is a collection of musical compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, consisting of two sets of preludes and fugues in all major and minor keys. Created in the early 18th century, it showcases the flexibility of tuning instruments so they sound harmonious across different keys. The work is both a demonstration of technical mastery and a theoretical exploration of musical harmony, serving as a vital resource for musicians learning about key relationships and composition. It remains a foundational piece in Western classical music, celebrated for its intellectual depth and artistic beauty.
