Bach - Prelude and Fugue in b minor, BWV893 (WTC II)

[andhow04]

the very last prelude and fugue from the second book, the fugue has difficult trill and voice-crossing passages, but is quite short.  interestingly, all the trills in the exposition of the fugue just sort of stop happening; usually bach makes use of figurations like taht all the way through a piece, or at least brings them back; but in this case, he introduces a new counter-theme after the exposition, when the fugue theme comes in the dominant, and the trills just never come back. kind of unusual!

This is certainly an interesting Prelude&Fugue -it could almost be mistaken for something mundane and without enormous importance or substance-yet like all Bach -it seems that it has always existed and was meant to exist  -and yet the music has many possibilities and secrets -

All this philosophising is your fault -you play this music with such passion and beauty.

Great work, as always... the tempo of the fugue could be very slightly more even.   Do I sense a little rushing a few measures in.   But a quibble only.   Love the dynamics.
