The late Ralph Kirkpatrick reveals here his approach to a deeper comprehension of music, showing how his methods are applied to the preludes and fugues of the Well-Tempered Clavier of J.S. Bach. This book is brilliant and important. Clavier All keyboardists performing classical repertoire can greatly benefit from Kirkpatricks scholarship, dry wit, and stubborn dedication.
