- Fugue in Eb, Br II:12
[2:8]
A cheerful little fugue subject with occasional syncopations. There are three playful false entrances in the tenor voice about halfway through, each
followed with a correct entrance in the bass (pedal). It ends with a pedal point and final statements of the fugue subject in alto and soprano voices.
Registration: HW P8 + O4 + N3 + S2 + Mix, RP Q4, PD S16 + OB8 + II/P. At one point the pedal part exceeded the keybord compass, so it was transposed
down an octave, and the registration changed to RP C4 + P2 +O1, PD O8 + II/P. For the final organ point (long Eb in the PD), the RP was changed to CD
+ C4 to give a little more body. For a popup table of these abbreviations, click here.
