Solfeggio

C.P.E. Bach’s Solfeggio in C minor is a brilliant, fast-paced keyboard study, one of six he composed in this energetic, etude-like style. Written in 1766 and published in 1770, it features broken chords, scales, and flowing passagework inspired by 18th-century vocal exercises. Widely known even in Bach’s lifetime, it remains a staple for developing speed, clarity, and control.

This carefully prepared student edition includes form analysis, interpretive guidance, and stylistic insights to support confident learning. Ideal for intermediate to late intermediate pianists, it builds evenness in passagework, articulation, and dynamic contrast. Based on the authorized version published by C.P.E. Bach in Musikalisches Vielerley (1770), it offers both historical authenticity and practical value.
