Book Reviews of The Well-Tempered Clavier: Books I and II, Complete
Book Review: important resource for a student of the piano
Summary: 5 Stars
This is among the most well-known technical manuals for anyone studying the piano. But this, by far, does not diminish its beauty as a musical composition. Beethoven, in his youth, was said to have churned out "the 48", as it has been called, as part of his act. Its influence has come to be considered among the cornerstones of the modern concept of harmony as we know it in western music.
