🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Fantasia and Fughetta B-Dur BWV 907

Combining a fantasia with a free-flowing character and a fughetta built around imitation of a subject, this keyboard work invites appreciation of the contrast between two different styles of writing. In the fantasia, listen for the direction of the phrases and the changes in harmony, allowing a natural musical flow with a sense of breath that is not overly confined by the meter. In the following fughetta, the subject passed between the voices should be clearly brought out, with careful balance of volume and articulation among the parts. Throughout, avoid rushing the ornaments and smaller figures, and use poised articulation and a measured resonance to distinguish the character of the two sections.
