🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Prelude e-moll BWV 938

Built around a succession of short motifs, this compact prelude unfolds through delicate exchanges between its voices. Within its continuous stream of passagework, changes in the handing-off of lines and in the harmony create expressive variety, while the tension increases toward the close. A key point is to grasp the overall flow while clearly shaping the direction of each motif and preserving the independence of the voices. In performance, avoid rushing with the fingers alone: maintain the pulse’s sense of weight while playing lightly, balance the inner voices so they do not disappear, and observe natural breathing in each phrase to convey the music’s forward momentum.
