An early reprint of the first part of the Well-Tempered Clavier, with the corrected plates (and the original plate numbers) of the 1801 Hoffmeister edition. Hoffmeister's "Bureau de Musique" in Leipzig was taken over by Peters in 1814. Although the Well-Tempered Clavier circulated widely in the 18th century in various manuscript copies and had already become a standard work, the first printed editions did not appear until the beginning of the 19th century (Nägeli, Simrock, Hoffmeister).
