- Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 543
[10:19] (A=465)
One of the mature masterworks. The Prelude starts with arpeggios on the manuals, to which is added a pedal point, proceeding to manual flourishes, a
pedal solo based on the opening motive, and proceeding to a strong dialogue between manual and pedals. The Fugue has an infectious momentum and ends
with one of the strangest cadenzas in all of Bach.
