The Well-Tempered Clavier (German: Das Wohltemperierte Klavier), BWV 846–893, is a collection of solo keyboard music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. He gave the title to a book of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, dated 1722, composed "for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning, and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study". Bach later compiled a second book of the same kind, dated 1742, with the title Twenty-four Preludes and Fugues. The two works are now considered to make up a single work, The Well-Tempered Clavier, or "the 48", and are referred to as The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I and The Well-Tempered Clavier Book II, respectively. This collection is generally regarded as being among the most influential works in the history of Western classical music.

The Prelude No. 6 in D minor (BWV 874) is from second book of the Well-tempered Clavier and is a didactic two-voice polyphonic piece of work, is dazzlingly fast, powerful and tense throughout, capturing the audience’s attention right from the beginning and keeping them mesmerized till the end. As for the fugue, though shorter, it is a three-voice chromatic study in contrasting rhythms, with alto entering first, then soprano and followed by bass. The piece is slightly slower than the prelude and has an ending of twos against threes, not commonly interpreted during Bach's era.

Although originally written for keyboard, I created this transcription for Viola and Cello.
