🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Well-Tempered Clavier I no.7 Es-Dur BWV 852

In the Prelude, a continuous flow of smaller notes and changing harmonies calls for controlled hand movement and carefully balanced resonance. The Fugue that follows is in three voices; its appeal lies in the subject passing from one voice to another and in the close interplay of the overlapping lines. The contrasting characters of the Prelude and Fugue should be kept in mind: give the figurations in the Prelude an even touch, while allowing the subject in the Fugue to remain clear and listening attentively to the countersubjects. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become blurred, and maintain a clear sense of pulse and direction toward the cadences to reveal the structure as a whole.
