Johann Sebastian Bach ： 5 Preludes and Fughettas Prelude and Fughetta in G-Dur BWV 902

This piece consists of a Prelude, with a sense of freely unfolding motion, and a Fughetta in which several voices pass the subject from one to another. In the Prelude, the changing harmonies and flowing succession of notes should be allowed to speak clearly, while in the Fughetta, the interplay between the voices is a central point of interest. Contrasting the Prelude’s improvisatory breathing with the Fughetta’s clear structure, performers should avoid rushing the shorter note values and focus on shaping each voice and maintaining natural phrasing, allowing the musical flow to come vividly to life.
