Philippe Fritsch: Keyboard instrument idioms versus composition and temperaments in Bach's WTC

Solid organological knowledge, as well as musicianship, has led Philippe Fritsch to reconsider the genesis of Bach's WTC. Contemporaneity of both parts, their distinct compositional approach determined by the choice (or deliberate absence of choice) of specific keyboard instrument(s), issues on temperament, are the main topics which shall be discussed.
