- BACH PRELUDE NO 1 IN C MAJOR (EASY PIANO TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS) // A simple piano tutorial for beginners on mastering Bach Prelude C Major BWV 846.
This is an older Bach Prelude C Major tutorial we recorded a few years back and despite it's more basic production it has some very important tips for those of you who are learning this great piece- Bach Prelude no 1 for piano.
JS Bach Prelude C major (piano) was originally composed for a harpsichord as a Well Tempered Clavier Book 1 Prelude no 1 (referred as WTC book 1 no 1, WTC no 1, or Bach Prelude 1). This prelude in C major opens a beautiful and rich world of preludes and fugues written in all keys.
Why not give it a go today and learn this all-over-the-world-beloved Bach Prelude in C Major from the Well Tempered Clavier Book 1.

I learned to play when there was no internet. Either someone explained things to you in person, or you had a book. Now there is all this wealth of information at a click’s distance! Sometimes too much, but for instance your channel is just amazing! Thank you!
I as a beginner learned from this video important concepts like the « voicing » soft wrist motion, broken chords, whole block chords, L&R hand full chord, thus many ways to practice ….superb Thank you for your generous lesson. 🎹
You, sir, are a gem. I am a rank beginner at age 70, can't even read music, but I am already able to make music, having watched some of your videos. So very grateful for your generosity.
Wow,so good this presentation ,just so good and so helpful , unblocking and inspiring one
Hadn't realised these fantastic tutorials had been around for that long - one of my favourite of all pieces beautifully explained, and yeah I agree it needs no melody adding at all.
Many thanks. I've played this tutorial several times after starting Bach's Prelude in C Major. Really appreciate your insight into a very good method of practicing this piece. It's not only helpful analysis but your recommendation to combine the chords had not occurred to me. It's an excellent suggestion and helped to remove several "hesitations" or "fractures". Again, thank you for taking the time to put your tutorials up on RUclips and all the best on this Easter Sunday, 2021. Elise in San Antonio, Tx, USA
Many thanks for your kind words
Thanks for that. It’s very nice to watch and listen to.
you deserve much more views for this video. It's very well explained!!! Congratulations. Subscribed right now.
Thanks for tutorial, I'll put into practice what you've thought.
Merci beaucoup for this. I want to make this my first classical piece and your suggestions were priceless.
Inspiring teacher. Thank you for your videos!
It sounds is amazingly jazzy, nice :-)
That was brilliant. I appreciated your edification on the history and how to play this piece. I feel more confident to go forward in a different way and to keep my practice interesting
Thanks, Kathleen for your feedback and comments, this is an old video as well, we have much newer ones in terms of production.
Thank you for a very nice lesson.
Thanks kindly for your teachings 🙏
Brilliant ! Thank you for the insight and education. Much easier to digest.
Glad it was helpful!
Great teacher. I love the background information.
Thanks, Pete, we also have some newer videos on our channel.
Good advice to tackle left hand first, then right hand then whole chord. I’m a beginner and have been trying bar by bar and progress has been v slow. Feel more confident that I will get to the end of the piece now. Thank you.
Gonna try this, thank you.
Thanks you !!!
Perfeito

Hi, where can I find the link to the pdf of the manuscript? Thank you!
How can I get the corresponding sheet music?Thanks.
Hiya there isn't a link for the music.... Can you help please x
Found your channel last night. This is the correct way to teach music. Do you still have pdf for this somewhere and do you provide paid lessons one to one.

Thank you very much!
I have been self teaching myself the Piano for four months and have been learning this piece for about three weeks now. I find that I tend to keep using different fingering each time I play it. Often only noticed after playing the bar. Is there any sheet music with fingering added for this?
Yes and this piece is built on three note triads - so with 5 fingers in the right hand there are always going to be ways in which to use your fingering. Ultimately a triad can played many ways - 1 3 5, 1 2 4, 1 2 5 etc. So the real question you've stumbled on here is even more fundamental - how do I choose my fingering when playing chords?
Thank you for the great tutorial. One question, do you use pedal for this piece?
Yes, you can use the pedal for this piece, remember though to change the pedal every bar (or new chord), and it's also important to play it with no pedal.
How did they do voicing on a harpsichord?
Usually, using rhythm, seeing dynamics was not possible. Very skilled arpeggiation you could say!
8:10 you said more on Inversion later then you forget about it :'( awesome tutorial anyways, thank you!
Yes, we were referring to the Inversions in our other videos. Check out our channel and you will see them there. This one is a great one for inversions : ruclips.net/video/i9ANZHp8CT0/видео.html
I have been asking ......this piece was written in C major scale although a few sharps are played....why is that ???
Hi Andreas, a very very good question. In short, the answer to your question is that most advanced classical music does not exclusively stick to the scale. The composer will use notes from other scales to achieve two things, to either change the music into another key or to decorate the music from the current scale. This is exactly what Bach does in this piece, he uses or "borrows" notes from other scales to make C major sound richer and less predictable. Hope this answers your question! We have some great online tutorials if you visit www.contemporaryschoolofpiano.com
Do I have to use the pedal for this?
yes
No. You don't "have" to, and given Bach would have written and played this on a harpsichord, there would have been no (equivalent of a sustain) pedal for him to use.
Would using the pedal make it "better"? Different question, and I would invite you to listen to e.g. Kimiko Ishizaka who plays the prelude without using the pedal, and e.g. Angela Hewitt who uses it extensively.
you are right, to short an answer.
but for me, using the pedal makes it easier, to make it sound good.

Thank you for the tip - I used to like playing this piece with the pedal, then moved to half pedalling but after seeing Kimiko Ishizaka (as per your recommendation) I realised that a good legato can capture pretty much all the pedal does whilst keeping it very neat...
Wasn't the first (type of) piano invented right around 1700? How come you say the piece was composed in 1722 which was "before" the invention of the piano? That does not compute.
He answers this in the video. The answer is that it was first created for the harpsichord.
Hi Jose, the piece was composed for Harpsichord. The early fortepianos in the early 1700 sound almost nothing like a modern pianoforte, hence the discussion about how to "transcribe" this music for the modern piano. That does not in any way invalidate the achievement of Bartolomeo Cristofori, but the instruments he built were not the instruments that Bach composed for (except his piano concertos). Bach preferred the Harpsichord which was in its prime.
