Clavier-Übung
# 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:

   * Clavier-Übung I: six partitas, published separately 1726–1730, then grouped in one volume in 1731
