A recording of J.S. Bach's 'Preludie in C' played by Neil Balfour.

When J.S. Bach began working on his epic Well-Tempered Clavier 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. 

It's a strikingly simple piece to begin with, gently phasing through different chords and registers, but it's one of those pieces that demands to be tinkered with. Consequently, you'll hear plenty of different interpretations of this much-loved work.

این آرشیو شنیداری؛ نظم و نظام آنچنانی ندارد، بیشتر شبیه یک‌ انباری بزرگ است که درش باز‌ شده‌ باشد، تجربه‌ی زیسته‌ی من در طول سال‌ها با«ساندکلاد» ‌است؛ شبیه تجربه‌ی خیابان، میدان انقلاب و شهر‌گردی می‌ماند، گمان نکنم دست خالی برگردید. 
 اگر به دردتون خورد با بقیه به اشتراک بگذارید، بسیار حیاتی است که «هنر و فرهنگ» به سرعتی بالا با دیگران به مشارکت گذاشته شود؛ چرا که خلقیات انحصار‌طلبانه در این زمانه‌ی سیاه، خیانت است به ایران، مردم، فرهنگ و هنر و به آیندگان، که شاید تحمل این شب‌های سیاه به نیکی و روشنی هنر و فرهنگ آسان‌تر شود.
