Prelude #1 was originally written as an exercise for Bach's students and
is probably one of the most famous preludes from "The Well-Tempered
Clavier". Every classically-trained pianist knows it, but it is
also a beautiful piece for guitar. It consists of a series of arpeggio's
and it should be played as smoothly as possible. Every measure must be
played twice, except for the last three.
