Prelude and Fugue in B minor, BWV 544 Click to Listen, [11:5] (a=420 Hz)
A grand prelude with wonderful rhythmic drive, with marvelous interludes on the Rugpositiv, ending with some fine chromatic writing at the end. The fugue subject is a walking pattern which wends through many keys, with the aid of a counter subject, relieved by arpeggiated episodes. The walking slows near the end: the destination has been reached. Instrument: Bosch-Schnitger Organ, Vollenhove/Overijssel (1686/1720) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier

Audio track was created with Hauptwerk v. 2 Samples using v. 3 software
