- Prelude and Fugue in A Major, BWV 536
[6:35]
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. Martinus Temperament.
