🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Fantasia and Fugue c-moll BWV 906

This work contrasts a freely unfolding fantasia with a fugue that builds its musical structure through the repetition and imitation of a subject. In the fantasia, listen for the sense of flow created by changing harmonies and delicate passagework, shaping the music with natural breathing rather than adhering too rigidly to the meter, while clearly tracing the direction of each figure. In the fugue that follows, carefully distinguish the entrances of the individual voices, bringing out the subject while maintaining the movement of the inner parts. Differentiating the character of the two sections, while using fingering and pedaling that keep the texture clear, helps convey the work’s structure and sense of tension more distinctly.
