Does anyone know the compass of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier?
Prelude 1 of Book II goes from C two octaves below middle C to
C two octaves above middle C.  I have not yet found any WTC
pieces with a wider range.  Before I conduct a methodical search
of all 96 preludes and fugues, does anyone out there know for sure?
