Why bach compose Well-Tempered Clavier?

Bach wrote the Well-Tempered Clavichord (in German,Das Wohltempierte Klavier) to show the world his well temperament method of tuning. Rumors have persisted over time that he was a proponent of equal temperament (what we use today); however, it is called the Well-Tempered Clavichord, not the Equal-Tempered Clavichord.Bach wrote in each of the 24 keys as a guide for composing in the various keys in well temperament. His genius allowed the pieces in this set to each sound wonderful, even though they were all written in different keys and subject to the irregularities of well temperament.


Are most of JS Bachs works for education?

No, but a large majority of them are. Chopin perhaps is probably the only one that trumps Bach. You must understand that while Bach did serve under the patronage system (plainly put: a musical slave), he also composed greatly for his huge family to both teach and improve their musical talents such as the Little Organ book for Wilhelm Friedman Bach or the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach (second wife) presented to Magdalena. Arguably his most profound contribution to music: the Well Tempered Clavier volumes 1 and 2 were composed to show the benefit of equally tempered keys more than to show virtuosic talent (for which he was already renknowned for). Having spent the last portion of his life at a post in Leipzig as the Director of Music for Thomasschule school, he dealt with students and composed for them. This is just one of the reasons why Bach's music is so technically difficult to play.

How many kksf 103.7 fm sampler for aids relief volumes were produced?

There are 18 volumes, or Volume 01 to Volume 18. There is also a Christmas album, but it's not included as a "Volume". Volume 18 has four songs previously included in the earlier volumes, which are probably songs they didn't need releases for since they were previously used. Volume 18 was probably rushed (this is supposition of course) as KKSF changed music format (to Classic Rock) the same year.
