Hi,
Plenty of things like this happen in the Wikimedia world every day, but as
a music lover I'm especially happy about this one: The Open Well-Tempered
Clavier project was completed yesterday with the public domain release of
all the music files, and it's already on Commons:

In case you didn't know, The Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach
is one of the most popular and influential works of European classical
music. The Open Well-Tempered Clavier is a project to record a complete
performance of this work and release the music files, as well as proofread
digital sheet music, to the public domain. It was crowd-funded through
Kickstarter.
The Well-Tempered Clavier is kinda like the "Dark Side of the Moon" of
classical music - if you listen to classical music, you likely own a
recording of it already, but since we are free culture geeks here, I'm sure
that you'll appreciate having this copy, too.
Nice! Thanks!
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
