Every summer during July and August, I play through the Well-Tempered Clavier Books 1 and 2 (WTCI&II) by Johann Sebastian Bach. I play one Prelude & Fugue (P&F) per day, resulting in 48 of the 62 days over the two months having a Prelude & Fugue each, with enough time off for vacations. Today, July 1, 2018, I have begun my seventh journey through the two books. Sometimes I have started at the last P&F of WTCII and progressed to the first P&F of WTCI. Sometimes I play Book 2 first, then Book 1. Sometimes I append the 15 Inventions and Sinfonias to their fellow keyed P&F’s. This summer I will simply drive through Book 1 and Book 2 in order, without the Inventions and Sinfonias. It is pure pleasure to begin the journey with the most famous of the Preludes, No. 1 in C BWV 846, and its four-voice fugue, and feel the welcome extended from JSB to me, here today.
