SUMMARY:The Well-Tempered Clavier
DESCRIPTION:A free musical event open to our community!\nIn or around 1722:\n\nEaster Island was discovered\nJonathan Swift began writing “Gulliver’s Travels”\nA small group of people from Northern Moravia settle in Herrnhut\, Saxony (Germany)\, forming Herrnhut Brüdergemeine\, the seed of the Moravian Church revival\nAnd Johann Sebastian Bach composed a compilation of pieces we now know as “The Well-Tempered Clavier.”\n\nThis concert celebrates the  300th Anniversary of The Well Tempered Clavier\, Book One – one of the major teaching volumes in keyboard history.  Bach was 37 years old when he produced this incredible work of art…and it has been in constant use since then!\nIt has influenced generations of musicians\, from young to old\, for three centuries\, well beyond the scope of Bach’s intention. Through the formative study of these works\, The Well-Tempered Clavier and the patterns it sets out in terms of harmony\, polyphony\, counterpoint\, architecture\, as well as piano technique\, became the DNA of composers\, that influenced the past three hundred years of music\, from Beethoven\, to Chopin\, to Liszt\, to Brahms\, Busoni\, Shostakovich\, and more. \n \n  \nTo celebrate this anniversary\, Artistic Director and Conductor Greg Funfgeld and Eugene Albulescu\, Director of the Lehigh University Philharmonic\, have conceived and offer our community a collaborative performance of the integral Book 1 of The Well-Tempered Clavier (1722.)  Twenty-four pianists\, ranging in age from 12 to 75\, will play Bach’s collection of Preludes and Fugues in every key\, major and minor. \n  \nPieces and musicians scheduled for April 3\, 2022: \n \n  \n  \n  \nWe are so pleased to welcome these talented musicians to present this concert and celebrate this anniversary in Bethlehem!   \n2pm: “Bach and Pedagogy\,” Lecture by Eugene Albulescu\, Music Director\, Lehigh University  Philharmonic \n3pm – 4:30pm: Part 1: Preludes and Fugues \nDinner Break: enjoy a meal or refreshments in Bethlehem’s beautiful downtown! \n6pm – 7:30pm: Part 2: Preludes and Fugues \nFREE – no tickets required! \nCentral Moravian Church\, in historic downtown Bethlehem \nBach Choir Covid protocol will be observed; please click HERE for more information. \n  \nShare This:
