- Prelude in G Major, BWV 568
[3:6] (A=465)
Another early work very much in the spirit of Buxtehude, Bach uses 5 organ points in the pedals against manual scales, interrupted by pedal cadenzas
and/or huge chords in the manuals. Registration: Hauptwerk: Rohrflöte 8' + Octava 4 + Spitzflöte 4' + OW-HW Coppel; Oberwerk: Octava 2 + Mixtura III;
Pedal: Principal Bass 16' + HW-PD Coppel. My approach here was to put on the Hauptwerk what I wanted to couple to the Pedal, and then add the brighter
sounds from the Oberwerk.
Midi File available.
