- Prelude and Fugue in A Major, BWV 536
[6:33]
The gentlest of preludes and fugues, Schweitzer says the prelude should "pass
before the hearer like a vision." The fugue is almost all exposition, with the
syncopated subject appearing in one or two voices at a time, playfully
incomplete at times. This piece is fairly uncharacteristic among Bach organ works, in an unusual key
for him as well. The Phantom Organist made several substitutions for the missing high "E" on the pedal division.
