About this work
The expansive Prelude in C minor opposes powerful returning chords with long contrapuntal lines. Sequences and suspensions maintain tension between these sonic pillars. To keep the form clear, returns of the material need to be recognised without giving every passage the same weight.
The Fugue extends that breadth through a subject whose entries accumulate in a dense texture. Episodes move the material and prepare large-scale cadences. The pedal part supports the lower register and participates in the combinations; excessively connected articulation would quickly blur the direction of the voices.
Map the returns of the Prelude and practise the intervening lines with a quiet registration. For the Fugue, sing the subject, mark each entry and combine the voices gradually with the pedals. Reserve the fullest sound for structural peaks so that sequences, suspensions and cadences retain their relief.
