- Praeludium et Fuga in C, Br I:01
[8:17] (A=465)
The prelude starts with virtuosic manual flourishes followed by a long pedal solo, then a long series of modulations with a few Krebsian quirks to let
you know it's not Bach or Buxtehude. The fugue in 12/8 meter is based on a 3-measure dance-like motiv with a characteristic trill. Registration is
roughly based on the presence or absence of the Pedal, but manual contrasts are fully utilized to showcase the subject.
