Dear Friends,

I'm publish this piece to continue my dream of recording the entire Well Tempered Clavier,to achieve this feat, I didn't choose a famous acoustic piano, but simple entry-level digital piano, because I'm convinced that even with "poor equipment" but with a lot of good will, it's possible to overcome the difficulties and achieve appreciable results on a collection that often it's a real challenge also for professional pianists.
This prelude is strictly written in two voices nearly all the way through and (with exception of two bars) might quite well be classed among the 2-part "Inventions", to which, in its whole structure, it bears a strong resemblance. Its contents, i. e. the vital power revealed in the movement of the melody, in rhythm and harmony, or, if we consider the form, the esthetic effect of the piece might be defined as active industry without haste; the bright key of F-major sparkles like morning fresh with dew, and even the key of D- minor, which appears in conjunction with it, remains free from all bitterness and melancholy, for its most powerful harmonies (the chords oi Bb-major and A-major) are selected by preference.
It was a real priviledge for me to study it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Greetings from Italy
