The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 846–893) became a milestone in European music history because all keys were now fundamentally equal and the possibilities of enharmonic and modulation could be extended to all keys.

Unlike other compositions by Bach, the Well-Tempered Clavier did not fall into oblivion immediately after his death. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart probably became acquainted with the work through Gottfried van Swieten, who brought sheet music from Prussia to Vienna; Mozart arranged fugues from the Well-Tempered Clavier for string trio (KV 404a) and for string quartet (KV 405).

Ludwig van Beethoven also knew and appreciated the Well-Tempered Clavier:

"Louis van Beethoven ... an 11-year-old boy with promising talent. He plays the piano very skilfully and powerfully, reads very well from sheet music, and to sum it all up: he plays mostly Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, which Mr Neefe has given him. Anyone who knows this collection of preludes and fugues in all keys (which could be called the non plus ultra) will know what that means."

Someone asked how we achieved the colours. Well, it's not us; it's Fujifilm, which is renowned for its magical colours in photography and film, and the use of a 18% grey card for white balance. I used the 30 mm Fujinon macro lens to capture the details of this beautiful flower. Simone Schlegel filmed the flower scenery in the garden in Switzerland, and Wenjing Ma edited it.
