Where it came from
The Clavier-Büchlein vor Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was compiled by Johann Sebastian Bach starting in 1720 as a pedagogical tool for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann. It serves as a fascinating pedagogical snapshot, containing early versions of several keyboard works that would later appear in the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Inventions and Sinfonias. Bach’s intention was to guide his son through the technical and theoretical foundations of keyboard performance, including instructions on fingering and ornamentation.
This particular 1959 edition published by Yale University Press is a significant scholarly contribution to the study of the Bach family manuscripts. It is widely regarded for its careful facsimile-like attention to detail, providing students and researchers with access to the original pedagogical structure. By preserving the order and notations of the autograph, it allows for a deeper understanding of the instructional methods Bach employed within his own household and his approach to teaching musical composition alongside performance.
