Beginning and intermediate pianists will appreciate this inexpensive edition of a selection of Bach's small fugues and preludes. Specially arranged and edited by the esteemed musician Giuseppe Buonamici, it features a splendid variety of works—all in simple keys, and with helpful notes on fingering. Teachers and students will find this collection an excellent preparation for the rigors of Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier. These pieces alternate major and minor keys, like the preludes and fugues of The Well-Tempered Clavier. In addition to offering a systematic, accessible approach to playing more advanced keyboard works, this volume constitutes a satisfying and charming compilation of musical selections.
