Praeludium in A Major, BuxWV 151 Click to Listen [7:8] (A=465)
Jolly and witty and harmonically daring sectional prelude in an unusual key. Though played on 1 manual and pedal, the Hauptwerk (lower pitches) is always coupled to the Pedal and the Hinterwerk (which provides color and brightness) is always coupled to the Hauptwerk. Instrument: Gottfried Silbermann Organ, Reinhardtsgrimma / Sachsen, Germany (1731) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier

Audio track was created with Hauptwerk v. 1 software
