About this work
The Fantasia in C minor builds intensity through suspensions, silences and renewed breaths in the counterpoint. Lines press towards cadences without losing their independence. An excessively dense registration would conceal the prepared and resolved dissonances that give this opening section its grave, rhetorical character.
The Fugue then changes the mode of listening: a clearly profiled subject enters successively in the voices before combining with episodes that move the harmony. The pedal part participates in the polyphony rather than merely doubling the bass. Locating each entry clarifies the progression when the texture tightens.
Practise the Fantasia in phrases, marking suspensions and the length of silences. For the Fugue, play the manual voices first, then add the pedals without changing articulation. Choose related registrations to preserve unity while allowing the transition from meditation to contrapuntal momentum to become audible.
