I have released my 3rd CD called "AIR".
I play music by: Dowland, Galilei, Weiss, Bach, Handel, Albinoni and Pachelbel. All, popular classical pieces that I have been asked to record on a CD. And here it is!
You can order it from my website http://per-olovkindgren.com/ipnmonitor and soon also listen to sound samples there.

I am posting a Bach Preludium in C-Major from "The Well-Tempered Clavier" today. This prelude also served as the basis for the Ave Maria of Charles Gounod. I hope you will like my arrangement.

This arrangement is available at my web shop
http://www.per-olovkindgren.com/ipnmonitor
As is my CD 'Distant Love' that is selling very good at the moment so I hope I can still deliver it for a while...

I will soon post more music from my own hand though I can't compare with Bach... :-)

Love you all!
Per-Olov


The Well-Tempered Clavier (German: Das Wohltemperiertes klavier), BWV 846--893, is a collection of solo keyboard music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. He first gave the title to a book of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, dated 1722, composed "for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning, and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study." Bach later compiled a second book of the same kind, dated 1742, but titled it only "Twenty-four Preludes and Fugues." The two works are now usually considered to comprise The Well-Tempered Clavier and are referred to respectively as Books I and II. The Well-Tempered Clavier is generally regarded as one of the most influential works in the history of Western classical music.

The best-known piece is the first prelude of Book I, a simple progression of arpeggiated chords. The technical simplicity of this C Major prelude has made it one of the most commonly studied piano pieces for students completing their introductory training.
