- Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 531
[6:53]
The Prelude opens with a fanfare-like pedal cadenza which is imitated in the manuals and punctuated with strong 6- and 7-note chords finally ending
with some bravura recitative used again at the end of the Fugue, which proceeds regularly enough until the pedal entrance, playfully avoiding
predictability. Temperament: MeanTone Fifth Comma.
Instrument:
