one of my favorite sets from the book ii, i think a good concert piece as a dramatic prelude is followed by a very introspective, reflective fugue. the fugue is a double, in three parts, one with the first undulating and reflective subject, then the lamenting chromatic second subjct, then the subjects combined.

here's a link to the g# from book I:
