Features: Bach and his polyphonic music belong to the 17th and 18th centuries. However, an interesting phenomenon is that people become more and more fascinated by Bach's music over time, seeking enlightenment to understand the world and expand their thinking from his profound and philosophical compositions. It has become a consensus that Bach's works are an indispensable part of piano learning. In Bach's original scores, there are few explicit markings for tempo, dynamics, and phrasing, which makes different interpretations possible. Moreover, the Baroque era's characteristic ornamental techniques are also rich. Therefore, the publication of cleaned-up editions is particularly suitable for Bach. Unfortunately, clean editions suitable for professional performers may not be suitable for beginners, as teaching requires scores with clear instructions. This truly poses a challenge for publishers. The compilers of this edition have strived to find reliable sources and strive for reasonable interpretations, adhering to a serious approach. Compared to previous versions published domestically, its editing features focus on Bach's ornamental requirements and the rational selection and arrangement of pieces. It can be considered a meaningful work.
