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.

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.

Advanced pianists are welcome to use the damper pedal in chorales, although less advanced students should use the pedal sparingly or not at all.
