Synopsis

First Lessons in Bach is a piano sheet music collection featuring keyboard works by renowned Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach. Presented in the Schirmer Performance Editions series and edited by Christos Tsitsaros, this edition combines the contents of both books from the classic Bach/Carroll Schirmer Library volume into a single collection. It is designed for pianists, piano teachers, studios, libraries, and classical music enthusiasts seeking a trusted printed edition of Bach's enduring keyboard repertoire.

The collection includes piano notation for 28 compositions drawn from Bach's suites, overtures, and standalone keyboard works. Carefully edited for clarity and consistency, it provides a practical resource for private study, lesson preparation, rehearsal, recital reference, performance, and long-term music library collections while remaining faithful to Bach's original compositions.

Bringing together many of Bach's most recognizable shorter keyboard works in one volume allows performers and educators to keep an essential Baroque repertoire collection close at hand. The thoughtfully selected music supports the study and performance of Bach's distinctive musical style, phrasing, articulation, rhythm, and interpretation while serving as a valuable reference for lessons, recitals, auditions, and personal enjoyment.
