The order of “12 Short Preludes” differs between editions. In this video series, the 12 Preludes are ordered in the way they are traditionally performed and recorded.

*Please note: The edition I used in this recording is the “Universal Edition” edited by Julius Rontgen. In the preface it states: “The short preludes and fugues are here given exactly according to the edition of the Bach society of 1886. Bach’s text contains no marks for tempo, expression or fingering. The few exceptions are noted where they occur”.

The American edition of Theodore Presser Co. featured above the keyboard in this video, was edited by Preston Ware Orem and is public domain, a necessary requirement for an online video such as this. Occasionally notes vary in this edition from my own edition, especially ornamentation.
