It appeals to those who desire an introduction to the collectionor a refresher on its salient characteristics. The main topics include: definitions, descriptions, and history of Prelude, Fugue, Temperament, and Tonal Harmony; Bach’s motivation for writing the collection and his compositional process; the work’s reception history; and the philosophies and issues of performance practice.
