Bach - Prelude and Fugue in c minor, BWV871 (WTC II)
on: October 22, 2011, 12:37:50 PM
the c minor from the second book.  the prelude is not unlike the prelude of the first book, at least in its figuration.
the fugue has the unforgettable augmentation of the subject, which i have always loved but never realized until i played it, that the augmentaiton is accompanied by both the subject at normal speed, and the subject in inversion!  it ends with a magnificent stretto .


the link to c minor from book I:

Great clarity and nice voice leading. I think I'd use a bit more dynamics though...

NIce....I can hear the subject. Bring it out more and shape the fugue a little more. Nearly there.
