Bach: Complete Organ Works Vol. 1 Preludes and Fugues I - with CD-ROM - ed. by David Schulenberg As close as possible to Bach In his ?Preludes and Fugues,? Johann Sebastian Bach made decisive contributions to the development of this genre tradition. The importance of this work group in his own organ oeuvre is confirmed by the many transmitted sources: hardly any autographs, but all the more copies. The genesis of the works and the question of versions associated with it are described at length in the introduction. In his new edition, editor David Schulenberg occasionally makes a new evaluation of the transmitted sources. To do so, he based himself as faithfully as possible on the manuscripts that can be traced back to Bach or to his circle. Here the American Bach expert generally chooses one source as his principal one. Divergences from other sources are documented in the Commentary. On the whole, the new Urtext edition sometimes also emends some long-cherished readings of ornaments, voice leading and notation. Also printed in Volume 1 is, for example, the early version of the C major Prelude BWV 545 as well as the inserted Trio movement of the three-movement version of this work. As with the previously published volumes, the CD-ROM enclosed in Volumes 1 and 2 contains dubious works and secondary versions for comparison with the principal versions. This time, the CD-ROMs are completely in German and English and feature the English version of the Commentary.

The Prelude is a flowing 9/8 song; the four-Voice Fugue follows as the slow movement; the Variations return to the original prelude theme.It is difficult to overstate the importance of Franck’s Prelude Fugue and Variation for Organ both in his own compositional life and in the development of the French Organ school. The piece is widely believed to have been one of the elemental founding works of the school appearing at a time when French Organ music was at an ebb. Originally one of Six Pieces appearing in 1862 when Franck was forty years old the work established him in the minds of other young composers as a talent of serious proportions and marked the beginning of afulfilling adult life spent as a highly-regarded composer

The Prelude and Fugue In G Minor (Op. 84) was first published in 1960. It is scored for solo Organ.Craig Seller Lang (1891-1971) was a British composer organist and musical pedagogue who was born in New Zealand. He studied at the Royal College of Music before becoming a teacher at Christ’s Hospital School. His compositions were mostly written with a student performer in mind. He is best remembered for his seminal educational Organ books but he also created prolific volumes of material in both sacred and secular choral genres.

24 Preludes and fugues. I always considered the fugue the most perfect and pure of all musical forms. The possibility to build an entire piece of music from only one main idea represented an intriguing challenge for composers from different times. With this work, which I consider as a whole, I wanted to pay homage to this old, and beloved, form. I tried to infuse it with my personal view, hoping to give a contemporary feeling, still respecting the traditional tonal sense of the keys. Each fugue is preceded by a prelude which is sometimes connected thematically. Following the greatest baroque model, Johann Sebastian Bach, I avoided giving metronome and dynamic indications for the fugues. However, for the preludes I provided tempo and a few dynamic indications, only when I felt it was necessary. Note on performance: if the preludes and fugues are performed individually, they should be under the title: Prelude and Fugue I; Prelude and Fugue II, etc. It is also possible to indicate the key of each piece.

Poul Ruders' Star Prelude And Love Fugue is a work for Piano solo dating from 1990. Programme note Star Prelude and Love Fugue is the fruit of “a wonderful stay in Tokyo in March 1988” (the composer’s words). The two pieces were composed in February 1990 and they are dedicated to Japanese pianist Aki Takahashi who gave the premiere performance at the Lerchenborg Musikdage on 3 August 1990. The prelude is a fantasia on the prelude of Act Two of Poul Ruders’ opera Tycho (1986) about Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (which should explain the title). The theme of the  Love Fugueistaken from the opening bars of another earlier Ruders’ work namely the a cappella motet Charitas Nunquam Excidit (which is Latin for “love never ceases”). The following fugue is purged of the genre’s traditional gravitas as is already signalled by the expression mark 'Swinging'. Its initial eleven bars quote the motet but there after everything is newly composed. Per Erland Rasmussen 2001
