Added by magataganm, 30 May 2017 Bach was one of the few composers whose genius allowed him to write instructive works for students that could also stand alone as pure music for the listener. Schumann, Bartók, and a few others also produced pedagogical compositions that accomplished both objectives, but Bach may have been the most effective here. Certainly, the Well-Tempered Clavier is one of the supreme efforts in the genre. And one can go on to cite his more modest pedagogical creations, like the so-called Little Preludes (12). Though Bach himself did not assemble this compilation, it logically and conveniently groups the individual pieces according to key sequence. Although their grouping is logical and is often retained in recordings and on recital programs. The Little in the set's title refers not just to the modest requirements of the piece, but to its length, which here is about a minute. The ninth Prelude in E minor (BWV 932) is an incomplete work with only 10 1/4 measures surviving. For the sake of this arrangement, I have completed the work and notated my additions in the score in red.
