On this page, Dr. Hall presents an essay on Bach chorales concluded by a list of some of Bach's lesser difficult chorales arranged in order of BWV numbers that are recommended to piano students. Bach composed a total of over chorales, which come from two sources, the C. Even though later composers did not always write strictly in four voices as Bach did in his chorales, they nevertheless relied on the voice-leading rules set forth by Bach.
Bach chorales are not piano music per se , but rather vocal music for a choir consisting of four voices: soprano, alto, tenor, bass SATB. A pianist who can play and sight-read Bach chorales in a musical and artistic fashion is far better prepared for the real-world of classical piano than the pianist who plays predominantly flashy and virtuosic 19th-century etudes.
This I believe from the bottom of my heart, and considering that there are currently no quality piano editions of Bach's chorales available, this is why I am devoting the next few years to transcribing and editing Bach's chorales for piano. Schirmer, Inc. The most available and popular is the Harmonized Chorales , which virtually every music theory student possesses nowadays.

Learn the two-voice version hands separately with emphasis given to attaining a smooth, legato touch with the fingering provided. No pedal is necessary in this step. Learn the two-voice version hands together with the same care given to step 2.
It is recommended that beginning to intermediate level students refrain from using pedal in this step; however, advanced pianists are permitted to use the pedal sparingly if done tastefully and artistically. Learn the four-voice version hands separately with careful attention given to fingering. Pay close attention to which notes should connect usually changing notes or not connect usually repeated notes and changing notes in which the thumb is repeated.
Learn the four-voice version hands together with careful attention given to the fingering and with no pedal. Always strive for a smooth "singing" cantabile tone and never just "play the notes.
Fermata cadence points almost always call for a little slowing down or ritardando , not too little and not too much, but just the right amount in the right proportion. Advanced pianists are welcome to use the damper pedal in chorales, although less advanced students should use the pedal sparingly or not at all. Bach chorales are the perfect style in which to learn the fine points of proper piano pedaling, which Rubinstein referred to as "the soul of the piano.
