Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier: An Exploration of the 48 Preludes and Fugues
Marjorie Wornell Engels
Through a musical language involving symbols, numbers, and tonality, J S Bach created emotional dimension in the preludes and fugues of ""The Well-Tempered Clavier"". This book explores the use of that language, revealing how Bach used harmonic design and melodic and rhythmic motivic formulas to adhere to the basic doctrine of the Theory of Affects.
