- Prelude and Fugue in B minor, BWV 544
[10:40]
A grand prelude with wonderful rhythmic drive, with marvelous interludes on the Hinterwerk, ending with some fine chromatic writing at the end. The
fugue subject is a walking pattern which wends through many keys, with the aid of a counter subject, relieved by arpeggiated episodes. The walking
slows near the end: the destination has been reached. Alhough there are only a total of 7 stops on this virtual pedal harpsichord, some terrace
dynamic effects are possible using all the permutations available.
