Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental Well-Tempered Klavier may have been conceived for keyboard, but it has captured the imaginations of brass players for centuries as a critical touchstone of contrapuntal and harmonic writing. The 5-voice B-flat minor is full of challenging and rewarding musical ideas which suit brass quintet voicing with very little coaxing.
Arranged by a brass player, for brass players, this dramatic and cerebral prelude and fugue adaptation is sure to become a staple of your quintet’s repertoire for years to come.
