Fuga in G Major, BuxWV 175 Click to Listen, [3:9]
Fugue in 3 voices and 3 sections. The first uses a carefree subject with 8 entrances, some with modified rhythm on the first note (Positiv Bourdon 8' + Holztraverse 4' + Nazard 2&2/3' + Octävlein 1'); the second (Hauptwerk Rohrflöte 8' + Gambe 8' + Octave 4' + Mixture 1 1/3) inverts the subject and also has 8 entrances; the third mixes both forms of the subject (and also couples the two manuals), with 7 entrances of each, sometimes in a quasi-stretto. No reverberation was added. Instrument: Mühleisen Orgelbau, St. Cornelius and Cyprian (1997) - Samples by Gernot Wurst

Audio track was created with Hauptwerk v. 1 software
