5.0 out of 5 stars A 20th-century Well Tempered Clavier, August 5, 2000
By 
John Abbott (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Preludes and Fugues for Piano (Paperback)
Because copyright laws have changed since this Dover edition came out in 1991 - originally these pieces were not covered by copyright due to Russian law - it it has now gone out of print. To get these wonderful preludes and fugues, republished from the original Moscow editions from 1956 and 1966, at the original price of $12.95, seems incredible now. The volume includes the 24 Preludes, Op.34 from 1932-3 and five early preludes dating from 1920-21, but also the masterly, 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op.87, a 20th-century Well-Tempered Clavier, written between October 1950 and March 1951. Wilfred Mellers, in his essay for Keith Jarrett's recording on ECM, says the cycle "need fear no comparision with its model." It's rarely seen second-hand, so the library may be the only option.
