The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In the composer's time clavier referred to a variety of keyboard instruments, namely the harpsichord, the clavichord and the organ, but not the regal and the then newly-invented pianoforte.
- The modern German spelling for the collection is Das wohltemperierte Klavier.
- Bach gave the title Das Wohltemperirte Clavier to a book of preludes and fugues in all 24 keys, major and minor, dated 1722, composed "for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning, and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study".
