Brad Mehldau's After Bach comprises the pianist/composer's recordings of four preludes and one fugue from J.S. Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier", each followed by an "After Bach" piece written by Mehldau and inspired by its WTC mate.
After Bach originated in a work Mehldau first performed in 2015—commissioned by Carnegie Hall, The Royal Conservatory of Music, The National Concert Hall, and Wigmore Hall—called "Three Pieces After Bach".
From Timo Andres' liner notes:
"As a professional organist, much of Bach's work took the form of improvisation, and during his lifetime it was the virtuosity and complexity of these improvisations for which he was most admired … Some three centuries after the fact, Brad Mehldau takes up this tradition and applies it to a frustratingly unknowable aspect of Bach's art."
