- Toccata and Fugue in E Major, BWV 566
[9:26]
Divided into four sections, this early piece resembles, in form at least, the Preludes and Fugues of Buxtehude. The first section alternates manual or
pedal cadenzas with very dense suspended chords. Then follows a charming fughetta with a great deal of repetition following the circle of fifths. A
brief flourish for manuals in the third section ends with an even briefer pedal cadenza punctuated with 9-voice chords. The fourth section, in 3/4
time, is polyphonic with a catchy rhythmic subject. Brad Lehman Temperament, -11dB output volume, Impulse Reverberation added.
Instrument:
