Bach: Prelude in B minor, BWV 855a (Arr. by Alexander Siloti) Reworked
Today’s upload features the reworked version from last Friday’s release — a four-track piano EP centered around the Prelude in B minor by J.S. Bach, as transcribed by Alexander Siloti. This beloved miniature — originally from Bach’s Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and later adapted for The Well-Tempered Clavier — has inspired generations of pianists.
🎧 Out now on all platforms: https://album.link/prelude
This Prelude in B minor was originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach as part of the Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, catalogued as BWV 855a. The version most familiar to modern audiences, however, is a romantic piano arrangement made by pianist and conductor Alexander Siloti, a student of Franz Liszt.
Siloti transposed the piece from E minor to B minor and made subtle yet expressive changes in voicing and texture, bringing out its lyrical and meditative qualities. The sustained left-hand arpeggios and delicate right-hand melody reflect a more introspective and romantic character, while still preserving the essence of Bach’s original writing.
This version has become one of the most beloved transcriptions of a Baroque work, often performed as an encore piece for its emotional depth, simplicity, and timeless beauty.
