- Bach, Johann Sebastian: Prelude and Fugue in D minor, BWV 539
- The Prelude, for manuals alone, is published in a popular wedding album, and so has been heard often. I doubt that many have dealt with the fugue,
which is unusual in that the pedal (just pulled down from one or both manuals) seems to be nearly always present, and the arpeggiated episodes put one
in mind of an Italian concerto. Kirnberger 3 Temperament.

[4:3]
HW3
- Schumann, Robert: Canon 1, Op. 56
- The first of six canons written for Organ or Pedal Piano in 1845, this sunny work belies its very strict construction - a canon at the octave with a 2
beat interval between first and second voice, over a pedal part that shores up the harmony. Since the organ can sustain indefinitely, a few long notes
in the pedal were joined. Registration:
RH Man. 1 Prestant 8' + Octaaf 4'+ Quint 2-2/3',
LH Man. 2 Quintadena 8' + Picolo 2' (replaced by Roerfluit 4' for better balanced chords at end),
PD Subbas 16' + Prestant 8'. Kirnberger 3 Temperament. Schumann
Scores.
