Product Description

Score: 5 pages. Duration: ca. 2:24. 

Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude and Fugue in A Minor BWV 559 is a two-movement work for organ that is considered one of his finest compositions. It is believed to have been composed in 1723 and is one of his most often-played and recorded pieces.


The Prelude is an impassioned and highly expressive movement that is filled with intricate counterpoint and a variety of textures. Its dynamic range is wide and it showcases Bach's mastery of harmonic and contrapuntal devices. The Fugue, on the other hand, is a highly contrapuntal movement that is based on a powerful and driving motif. Its harmonic structure is tightly constructed and its melodic lines are contoured with great finesse.


Bach's Prelude and Fugue in A Minor BWV 559 is a testament to his remarkable skill as a composer and his mastery of counterpoint. Its structure, texture, and harmonic language are still captivating to modern audiences and it remains one of Bach's most beloved works.
