Clavier-Übung

Clavier-Übung, in more modern spelling Klavierübung, is German for "keyboard exercise". In the late 17th and early 18th centuries this was a common title for keyboard music collections: first adopted by Johann Kuhnau in 1689, the term later became mostly associated with Johann Sebastian Bach's four Clavier-Übung publications.

The following composers published works under the title Clavier-Übung: Johann Sebastian Bach: Clavier-Übung I: six partitas, published separately 1726–1730, then grouped in one volume in 1731 Clavier-Übung II: Italian Concerto and French Overture (1735) Clavier-Übung III: also known as the German Organ Mass (1739) Clavier-Übung IV: Aria with Diverse Variations, known as the Goldberg Variations (1741) Ferruccio Busoni Klavierübung (1918–1925) Christoph Graupner: Leichte Clavier-Übungen (c.1730) Johann Ludwig Krebs Clavier Ubung Bestehend in verschiedenen vorspielen und veränderungen einiger Kirchen Gesaenge Nürnberg, J.U.
