Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude No. 1 in C Major, BWV 846 from the Well-Tempered Clavier - 1 Hour extended version - classical music piano for studying and concentration, reading, homework, relaxation, sleeping. * C major prelude - Bach: The Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 846, is a keyboard composition written by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is the first prelude and fugue in the first book of The Well-Tempered Clavier, a series of 48 preludes and fugues by the composer. An alternative version of the prelude, BWV 846A, is found in the Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. The prelude is 35 bars long and consists mostly of broken chords. The prelude continues like this with different variations on harmony, and change of key. The prelude ends with a single C major chord. Some earlier editions of the prelude contain an extra bar between bars 22 and 23 known as the "Schwencke measure", a measure apparently added by Christian Friedrich Gottlieb Schwencke in an attempt to correct what he allegedly deemed a "faulty" progression, even though this sort of progression was standard in Bach's music. When J.S. Bach began working on his epic Well-Tempered Clavier (or Das Wohltemperierte Klavier, to give it its proper German title) in 1722, chances are he wasn't thinking that it would become one of the defining musical texts in keyboard history. But, somehow, it has - and the Prelude No. 1 in C Major is where it all starts. The Well-Tempered Clavier (there are two volumes of it, each containing a prelude and a fugue in each musical key) kicks off in C Major, the most 'natural' musical key, so he obviously made sure that the first entry is a good one. Few pieces of keyboard music sound so delicate and fragile, but there's a very Bach-ian stability to it as well. Bach - Prelude No.1 in C Major, BWV 846 from the Well-Tempered Clavier piano is the perfect short classical music for studying and concentration, reading, homework, relaxation, sleeping, relaxing babies and children or as a background ambience music.
