- Prelude and Fugue in A major, BWV 536
[6:30]
The gentlest of preludes and fugues, Schweitzer says the prelude should "pass before the hearer like a vision." The fugue is almost all exposition,
with the syncopated subject appearing in one or two voices at a time, playfully incomplete at times. This piece is fairly uncharacteristic among Bach
organ works, in an unusual key for him as well.
