They give the feeling of a fabric, reversible, invertible, turned inside out and back like a Mobius strip, an unending emotional richness. These moments of turning are for me the core of The Well-Tempered Clavier. We cross and recross the boundary, an act with myriad metaphorical overtones: light meets dark, extrovert becomes introvert, joy gives way to sorrow, etc. “Within every prelude and every fugue, Bach allows major and minor to visit each other.
