He himself was the foremost organist of his day, and wrote many diiioicult works Cfor violin and clavichord as well as for organb which even today tax the most capable performers, Bach is olf special infterest to pianists, because he was the inventor of the modern system of equal temperament for tuning Keyboard instruments. The Well Tempered Clavichordv was writ- 'ten to demonstra-te the superiority off this system. Also, it was Bach who first inltroduced the use of the thumb in playing the clavichord.
