Bach - Prelude and Fugue in g minor, BWV885 (WTC II)
on: November 27, 2012, 12:54:03 PM
g minor prelude and fugue from book II. i wasn't really familiar with this and it has become one of my favorites in the whole 48.. the prelude is a grand, tragic fantasy; the fugue is totally exhilarating and clever. it's hard to play but not harder than a minor from book I, and i think rather easier to memorize. this must be one of the best concert sets. bge
