J. S. Bach - Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue

This is a keyboard score of J. S. Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, BWV 903, based on manuscripts from the middle of the 18th century. This score was edited and engraved by Dr. Dominic Florence, and is presented without fingering or other editorial additions to preserve the original intentions of the composer.

The Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue is one of J. S. Bach’s most popular works for keyboard, and its quality matches its reputation. The availability of manuscripts of this piece from the 18th century suggests that it was well-known even at that time, which was relatively unusual for Bach’s works. The fantasy and the fugue are prime examples in their respective displays of freedom and process in music. If you are going to play only one keyboard work by Bach, this is the one to play.
