I know that there is an edition of Bach's WTC, in which every voice in the fugues is written in a seperate voice. This edition makes it easier to understand and practice the polyphony in the fugues. Unfortunately I couldn't find this anywhere (either for sale or download). Can you help me?

    If you google for fugues wtc and looking for images or videos you’ll find many scores with staffs for each voice e.g. this here https://www.welltemperedclavier.org/de/node/34 also in youtube: channel *open Goldberg* https://youtu.be/88HeQ8ychg8 – Albrecht Hügli Apr 30 '20 at 22:03

    In case you're curious, I recently made a recording of the C-Major Fugue from Book 1 in which I played each of the four voices on separate tracks and then panned them to different locations in the stereo space so that you can hear them separately. I thought it turned out pretty well! https://soundcloud.com/alexbasson/fugue-in-c-major – Alex Basson May 02 '20 at 11:13

This is an open score edition:

    How can we see that this is a score edition with a staff for each voice? Oh, I sea: *open score* means right this! (But the example on the cover shows only the manuscript...) – Albrecht Hügli May 01 '20 at 09:46
