🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Prelude and Fugue (Allegro) Es-Dur BWV 998

Comprising a flowing prelude and a fugue (Allegro) shaped by the exchange of its subject, this work offers both expansive sonorities and tightly woven counterpoint. In the prelude, it is important to maintain the flow of sound while bringing out the harmonic changes clearly. In the fugue, allowing the subject to remain distinct in each voice and making the exchanges between voices audible conveys the music’s momentum. Throughout, aim for a balanced, clear articulation and natural breathing without making the sound excessively heavy. Use the pedal sparingly to avoid blurring the sonority, and listen for the contrast between the prelude’s freedom of flow and the fugue’s clearly defined pulse.
