Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France.

Bach composed various works for the purpose of teaching, and he obviously enjoyed challenging beginners. In the teaching booklets for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann and his wife Anna Magdalena, he collected all sorts of compositions, some of which he wrote himself. In both cases, the pieces are tailored to the level of the pupil concerned, without making any concessions to musicality.

The Five little preludes are also presumed to have originated for teaching purposes, although it is not clear when Bach wrote them or for whom. The originals have been lost, while the copies date from 1726 at the earliest. From this, we can deduce that the pieces could have been composed as early as 1717, but possibly also twenty years later. The last Prelude is said to have been written by Bach in Arnstadt already. And there is some debate about whether Bach actually wrote these five preludes himself. However, few people still doubt it, if only for the fact that the pieces are included in the extremely popular beginners’ book published by Hans Bischoff in the second half of the nineteenth century, Kleine Präludien und Fughetten.

The mastery of the little pieces lies in their combination of apparent simplicity and musical richness. They can be played very nicely with little technical prowess, whereas when played by a professional they reveal a surprising depth. This allows the pieces to be used at different stages of the learning process, thus revealing different shades of colour every time, like a "gobstopper".
