Watch “The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I, No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, Prelude — J. S. Bach” on YouTube

A work by Johann Sebastian Bach whose beautifully shifting harmonies soothe the soul, despite its very simple structure of regularly repeated broken chords.

Completed in 1722, this collection takes an approach different from the unequal temperaments that were common on keyboard instruments of the time.

It’s also famous as the accompaniment to Charles Gounod’s Ave Maria.

When you want to calm anger, steady anxious feelings, or sink into sadness, listening to this piece brings a sense of quiet and composure.

A true classic that perfectly embodies the phrase “unadorned beauty.”
