Current and former students from the studio of Bienen associate professor of piano Sylvia Wang perform the first twelve of the Preludes and Fugues from J. S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 2. A staging with two nestled “back to back" pianos allows for the Preludes and Fugues to be presented seamlessly and without pause.
