The Well-Tempered Clavier
Before class: pick one prelude and fugue from each book, listen to 3 different recordings (at least one not on piano, at least one on piano) of each, and write up your observations to turn in. I'm interested in your reactions to the performances, how approaches to choice of tempo, phrasing, etc., vary. Also, explore the website set up by Tim Smith at http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~tas3/wtc.html which includes all of the fugues of both books - look at the two fugues that you listened to for the recording assignment.
