"The Well-Tempered Clavier" lets you enjoy Bach's beautiful melodies.
The Well-Tempered Clavier consists of two volumes with 24 songs per volume, and a total of 48 songs in various keys The most famous of these is the Prelude and Fugue in C major, No. 1 of Volume 1, BWV 846. This song is considered a classical classic and is often used as a piano practice piece.
By the way, the name "Well-Tempered Clavier" is a very difficult Japanese word, but when you think about it in English, the meaning is simple (although the original title is in German). The English title is "The Well-Tempered Clavier (Songbook)." Literally translated, it means " a collection of well-tuned keyboard instruments ." Looking at the original German title, the title of this work does not (strictly speaking) mean ``equal temperament.'' In other words, there is no need to think deeply about the term "equal temperament." When remembering the name of this song, it seems better to remember it as a proper noun rather than its meaning. By the way, a ``clavier'' is, roughly speaking, a ``keyboard instrument.'' (I wonder why the person who named this in Japanese the Well-Tempered Clavier didn't use easy-to-understand Japanese that even a layman could understand. It's gone beyond cool and now feels like a chuunibyou.) )

Next the score, which is almost exactly as the original song .
There are many free scores for the original song, but I chose this one because it had careful finger numbers.
Strictly speaking, in the original piece written by Bach, the second note is played with the right hand. However, many piano textbooks currently on sale have the sheet music played with the left hand, which is the same as this sheet music. There is no problem with either, but the easiest way is to play with your left hand, as in this sheet music.
