Johann Sebastian Bach ： Prelude and Fugue a-moll BWV 897

Consisting of a prelude and a fugue, this piece invites listeners to appreciate the contrasting character of its two sections as well as the continuity of their musical flow. In the prelude, it is important to distinguish the movement of each voice and connect the succession of notes with natural breathing. In the fugue, clearly reveal how the subject is passed from one voice to another while preserving the hierarchy of the melodic lines. Rather than aligning ornaments and small note values mechanically, give attention to the support of the beat and the direction of each phrase to bring out the inner momentum of its refined writing. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become blurred, aiming for independent voices and a transparent sonority.
