Clavier (German: Clavier) is a word derived from the Latin 'clavis' and was used in Baroque Germany as a general term for keyboard instruments. In pedagogical works such as the Inventions and Sinfonias and The Well-Tempered Clavier, there are not only pieces suitable for performance on the harpsichord, but also pieces that gain greater expressiveness when played on the clavichord, which allows for vibrato through the Bebung technique, or pieces that evoke the sound of an organ in one's mind. Approaching the charm of Baroque works with the rich expressiveness of the modern piano is also one of the joys of playing the piano.

BWV 721 is one of 27 chorales attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach's early period. Although it is a work for organ, its original beauty is not diminished when played on the piano. Strive for a performance that evokes the sound of an organ, making ample use of the legato pedal.
