In 1722 Johann Sebastian Bach published the Well-Tempered Clavier “for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning, and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study”. In celebration of this anniversary, the following article was published on JStor.
JStor is one of our online sources, accessible for all Codarts students through our library website. After reading this wonderful article exploring the history and the context in which the WTK was published, be sure to check out other interesting articles available on JStor – after all, the access is free thanks to Codarts!

Bach’s most influential pedagogical work turns 300 this year. But what’s so “well-tempered” about this clavier, and what’s a “clavier,” anyway?
