Piano Pieces
THE WELL-TEMPERED PIANIST
Composed in the spring of 1984 at the home of Dr. Ted Lyon in Nevada City, California, these 48 pieces for the piano were written for the Bach tricentenary in 1985 and premiered that year at the J.S. Bach festival in Groningen, Netherlands. The composer followed Bach’s plan which begins with two pieces in C major, followed by two in C minor, and then follows the chromatic series through C sharp (D flat), D, E flat, etc. However, where Bach wrote only a prelude and fugue in each key, Goldschneider found it interesting to write in each of the many forms of music, both classical and popular, which attracted him over his many years of study and performance as a pianist. Thus the composer began with a prelude in C major followed by apolonaise in that key, then an invention in C minor followed by a toccata. The titles of the works presented on this CD will illustrate some of the scope of this series. As the dates indicate, the pieces were composed chronologically in the order of the series of 12 major and minor keys, sometimes at the rate of one per day.
