Where it came from
The Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach is a foundational collection of keyboard music compiled by Johann Sebastian Bach for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, starting in 1720. It serves as a pedagogical treasury, containing early versions of several Preludes and Fugues that would later populate The Well-Tempered Clavier, as well as various suites and didactic exercises intended to nurture the young boy's developing virtuosity.
This 1963 edition, edited by the esteemed musicologist Wolfgang Plath and published by Bärenreiter, represents a critical milestone in scholarly musical transcription. Plath’s work was part of the New Bach Edition, an ambitious project aimed at establishing authoritative scores based on rigorous source criticism. By meticulously presenting the manuscript's evolution, Plath provided musicians and historians with a window into Bach’s pedagogical method and his iterative approach to composition.
