🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Well-Tempered Clavier II no.9 E-Dur BWV 878

No. 9 from Book II of The Well-Tempered Clavier is a work in which flowing movement and tightly woven contrapuntal writing can be appreciated across its Prelude and Fugue. In the Prelude, it is important to listen carefully to the movement of each voice, maintain an uninterrupted flow, and shape the harmonic changes naturally. In the following Fugue, highlights include the subject being passed from voice to voice and the clarity of the overlapping lines. Giving each voice balanced treatment while allowing each statement of the subject to stand out slightly, and using the pedal sparingly to keep the sonority clear, helps convey both the structure and the expressive character.
