The Ultimate Piano Collection for Bach Enthusiasts. Bach: The Ultimate Piano Collection brings together Johann Sebastian Bachs essential keyboard works in one comprehensive volume from the Schirmer Library of Musical Classics. This anthology is designed for serious pianists, students, and teachers who want direct access to Bachs most important music in one place.
Complete Core Repertoire. This collection includes the Inventions and Sinfonias, English Suites, French Suites, Partitas, both books of The Well-Tempered Clavier, the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor, the Goldberg Variations, and the Italian Concerto. These works are foundational to classical training and performance, covering expressive Baroque dance styles, counterpoint, ornamentation, and advanced technical control.
Built for Study and Performance. Each piece is laid out for practical use at the piano. Intermediate players can grow with music such as the Two-Part Inventions, while advanced players can work on major recital and audition repertoire like the Goldberg Variations. The book supports development in hand independence, voicing, phrasing, articulation, and Baroque style.
High-Value Reference. With well over 600 pages of material, this single volume functions as a long-term library. Instead of buying multiple separate Bach books, pianists, teachers, and students can rely on one source for lesson assignments, practice, and performance preparation. The Well-Tempered Clavier (Books I & II) * Goldberg Variations * Inventions and Sinfonias * English Suites * French Suites * Partitas * Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor * Italian Concerto.
Why Pianists Love It. This volume offers repertoire that builds technique, musicality, and listening. It lets you study Bach in depth, from clear instructional works to demanding concert literature, all in one durable collection.
