Catalogue Number: CCS18498

Keyboard players of all eras have acknowledged and esteemed those rare composers who can write a well crafted keyboard part. Bach’s Keyboard style is a marriage of intention and execution. His keyboard writing presents many difficulties for the human hand to negotiate but it is never unplayable. Likewise, the quality of his musical ideas distracts our attention from more obvious chordal and figural techniques which in lesser hands descend into the doggerel of empty note spinning.
