The main purpose of this edition is to assist those “desirous of learning” with some suggestions and information that might be helpful in the process of learning, understanding and performing the works of Bach. These suggestions should not be taken as a “must” to follow, but are simply meant to assist in the comprehension and practical execution of The Well-Tempered Clavier (WTC) and to encourage further exploration. This Edition is available in 2 Books, or as 48 separate ‘Preludes and Fugues’.
To support the published scores Vladimir Feltsman has created a series of videos for each Prelude and Fugue. Book 2 can be viewed via these links.

Reviews:
Over the course of his performing and teaching career, he has recorded all known Bach’s works for the keyboard, excluding the works for the organ, 16 CDs in total. His devotion to J.S. Bach is beyond the manuscripts and the new edition was many years in making. In the interview, Feltsman mentioned how he got started when he first encountered Bach’s music. Feltsman said, “I was born and brought up in Russia and I had wonderful teachers for which I’m very grateful, but Bach was not the most popular music to be played. It was mostly romantic music plenty of Russian music Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Scriabin so Bach was not very popular but somehow, I felt very attracted to his music. So, I try to study to educate myself: reading books, listening to important recordings, and talking to people who knew better than me.” The new performing edition of J.S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, edited by Vladimir Feltsman, will be available on 6 October 2023. The edition is published in two volumes, or as 48 separate ‘Preludes and Fugues’, either as a printed score or a PDF file. It is accompanied by videos of Vladimir Feltsman’s recordings of the complete Well-Tempered Clavier, also available as a four-volume CD set.
