The pianist Alain Franco will perform two concerts of Bach’s Das Wohltemperierte Klavier. He plays it in two versions, in an attempt to let the material dialogue with itself. The 48 preludes and fugues of the Das Wohltemperierte Klavier are like short stories of which he puts forward two edited versions.
