: Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier
Pianist Stephen Prutsman performs at the the Maud Moon Weyerhaeuser Music Studio in St. Paul, MN APM / Nate Ryan
In 1722, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a massive set of 24 preludes and fugues; one for every major and minor key. 20 years later, he did the same thing AGAIN. On today's show, hear pianist Stephen Prutsman play the Prelude and Fugue No. 4 in C-sharp minor from Book Two of the Well-Tempered Clavier, by J.S. Bach.
