Prelude and Fugue in F minor, BWV 534 Click to Listen [9:44]
Moving in mood from pensive to majestic to bravura, the Prelude is thought by some to be either the work of Johann Christian Kittel (1732-1809) or of Bach's eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann (1710-1784). The fugue subject has a characteristic trill that makes it easy to notice in the thickest of textures. However, in this version there is no trilling in the pedal. Uses the extended set. Midi File available. Instrument: A. Cavaillé-Coll Organ, originally Paris, France, moved to Mainz, Germany (1877) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier
