- Praeludium und Fuge in d-moll
[4:54]
The Prelude opens with a Pedal solo, goes through a few chordal progressions, playing with the dotted rhythm that eventually permeates the Fugue,
which starts in Common Time, is interrupted by rapid scalar passages, and reappears in 3/4 time. Some more bravura chords and then arpeggios proceed
to an swift cadence. If you find yourself singing Handel's "How Beautiful are the Feet" from Messiah, perhaps it was suggested by the fugue subject.
