🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Prelude a-moll BWV 931

This miniature concentrates melodic movement and harmonic change within a concise texture. Short phrases flow naturally into one another, and the interplay of the individual voices and the forward motion toward cadences are especially rewarding to hear amid the light, flowing writing. In performance, the notes should not be treated as merely a succession of sounds; awareness of the pulse and the high points of each phrase helps give even the smaller figures a clear sense of direction. Keep the melodic voice distinct, shape the accompanying notes with restraint, and listen closely to the harmonic changes so that the expressive character within the compact structure can emerge more fully.
