J.S. Bach: A Piano Treasury offers the perfect introduction to the keyboard works of Johann Sebastian Bach. This carefully curated collection presents 25 pieces at an easy to intermediate level, drawn from Bach’s most renowned keyboard cycles (The Well-Tempered Clavier, Inventions and Sinfonias, Goldberg Variations, The Art of Fugue), as well as from the celebrated Notebooks ndash; personal collections that Bach compiled primarily for the musical education of his family. The selection is complemented by piano arrangements of three of Bach’s most beloved melodies.

The edition is presented in an attractive landscape format, inspired by the original layout of the Klavierbuchlein, making it especially well-suited to the piano music stand. An ideal gift for pianists who wish to discover Bach’s keyboard music, it was produced in collaboration with the Bach Archive Leipzig and includes a foreword by its Director, Peter Wollny.
