巴赫的这部《十二平均律曲集》是第一次为“十二平均律”系统作曲的尝试。虽然在他之前大约20年,已经有人针对当时刚刚兴起的“十二平均律”,尝试写了一些针对新音律的曲子。比如1702年,J.C.F. Fischer就曾经为“十二平均律”所给出的新12音阶中的9个写了一套曲子。但是从整体上为全部12个音作曲的第一人,是巴赫。正是他的这套《十二平均律曲集》,最终向人们证明了“十二平均律”是可以用来作曲的,而且其效果之美妙,以前的人们从未曾领略过。在推广“十二平均律”的过程中,这部作品是有特殊贡献的。
在这里,针对从C、C# …… 到B的每一个音,巴赫分别在大调和小调的框架内,各写了一首曲子。即他为C大调、c小调、C#大调、c#小调 …… ,一直到b小调,一共写了24首曲子。这样系统的尝试,可谓前无古人。所以《十二平均律曲集》在巴赫在世时就很受欢迎。随着 “十二平均律”的普及,后世的钢琴家们几乎都学习过《十二平均律曲集》,所以现在它被称为“钢琴演奏的旧约全书”,一点也不奇怪。
