I believe the reason why you didn't get any reply yet is because you haven't actually stated what it exactly is that you are struggling with.

Er… Is this one of the preludes from the WTC? If so, is it book 1 or book 2?

This is in book 1 im not sure what notes to play right there there are to many slurs in that measure for me to figure out whats happening there.Its to bunch together for me to read.

i just pretty much finished this prelude and fugue. I have the Dover edition of WTC 1 and 2, and it's easier to read, I think than others that I've seen. You need to think of the barred sixteenth note figures as a response to the eighth notes. I don't know if I'm explaining this well. Basically, measure 11 rythmic imitation of the descending bass just a measure or two earlier.

This is my favorite prelude.
