Lasse man sich nicht täuschen vom spätbarock schnörkeligen Titel, vom
wohl temperierten Clavier, der unschuldigen Widmung an die Lehr-Begierige
Musicalische Jugend. Temperiert, was ja so viel bedeutet wie gemäßigt, ist
hier gar nichts. Lasse man sich nicht täuschen von den harmlosen
Bezeichnungen Präludium und noch mehr Fuge, die Wohlanständigkeit
suggerieren und sorgsam gescheitelte Haare und die Ruhe und Zuverlässigkeit
des Kontrapunkts. Johann Sebastian Bachs Wohltemperiertes Klavier ist etwas
anderes. Der wilde Versuch, mit dem Erkunden des Tonraums der abendländischen
Musik bis in die letzten, entlegenen Dur- und Moll-Tonarten sozusagen auch den
ganzen Kosmos zu ergründen mit Mitteln der Musik. Eine Poetologie des
Universums und der menschlichen Seele. Eine emotional-kompositorische Tour de
Force, exzessiv, überbordend, maßlos an allen Ecken und Enden,
angefüllt bis zum Bersten mit Jubel, Versenkung, Zorn, Trauer, Ekstase.
