Fantastic! Any idea if they will be recording book II of the Clavier as well?

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: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_Well-Tempered_Clavier
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!
