 important resource for a student of the piano April 25, 2008
Mark Taguiwalo
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.
Perfect! January 23, 2008

Any pianist would be honored to own Bach's "Clavier"...
This book moves through his growth as a pianist and musician.
A 'must-have' for any serious pianist.
A MUST for any piano player. June 18, 2007

Don't let this book go... it is simply amazing and the price it's just symbolic. They might as well charge triple for it and it would be still a bargain.
Very good quality January 3, 2007

The Well-Tempered Clavier: Books I and II, Complete are a very good and nice copy of Bach's music. I have the German Editions of these books as well, and there are only a two differences between the two books: Price and the ink sometimes did not print dark enough in the cheaper book, but it is still clearly readable. The best part about this book is the low price and the fact that it basically a copy of the German edition. It is a much better idea to buy this book rather than the German editions because you can really use the book, write in it, and not feel guilty that your ruining a book if music that cost you over $50. Highly recommended, very good quality for the price.
