Through a musical language involving symbols, numbers, and
tonality, J. S. Bach created emotional dimension in the preludes
and fugues of ""The Well-Tempered Clavier"". This book explores the
use of that musical language, revealing how Bach used harmonic
design and melodic and rhythmic motivic formulas to adhere to the
basic doctrine of the Theory of Affects - i.e., that one mood will
govern one piece. The book examines the significance of key and the
emotional dimension Bach discerned in each tonality; the symbolism
of melodic and rhythmic motifs; and the symbolism of numbers. It
considers the thematic and rhythmic links between a prelude and its
companion fugue in each book, and between a prelude and fugue in
Book One and those in the same key in Book Two. It also includes
reference to other instrumental works by Bach in the same key and
melodic patterns.
