Johann Sebastian Bach: WTC 2 Bach wrote the second set of 24 preludes and fugues some sixteen years after the first one.
By this time the fugue was more or less out of fashion, and Bach had begun to attract some criticism for his unnaturally intricate style of composition.
It’s not unlikely that he wrote this second set partly with the aim of silencing his critics, once again demonstrating how the fugue could be made to absorb all sorts of styles and expressions.

Good first Bach WTC?

I've never played a Bach Prelude and Fugue set, though I've always wanted to. Since I don't really have much repertoire at the moment, I thought this might be a good time to begin one. To give an idea of what I can play, I'm currently working on the first two Barber Excursions and Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales. In the recent past I have played Beethoven Op. 14 no. 2 and the first movement of Schubert D. 537. I'm ashamed to say I haven't played much Bach except the prelude to the second English Suite in A minor.
My favorites from the WTC include:
WTC I: C# major, Eb major, D# minor, E major, G major, A minor
WTC II: C# minor, F minor, F# minor, A minor, B minor (these are fewer because I'm - unfortunately - not as familiar with WTC II)
Bolded are my two overall favorites. But though these are my top choices, I'm willing to settle for other pieces if the ones listed here are out of my league. Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Favorite Bach P+F

Which is your favorite bach prelude and Fugue? My favorite is XXI from the Well-Tempered Clavier book 1. I like it because the prelude is kind of crazy, and the fugue doesn't sound as wierd and atonal as most fugues do.

"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
