Prelude and Fugue

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

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.

A detailed analysis of Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues. The object of the present Analysis is to place in the hands of students a detailed and exhaustive scheme of every Prelude and Fugue. In the Preludes the mode of procedure has been: 1) To give the Figure upon which each Prelude is built; 2) To give the Prelude itself in full and copiously marked or in a reduced form showing the structure; 3) a 'Summary' of the piece; and lastly general 'remarks' upon the structure and treatment of the materials. For the Fugues a Tabulated Analysis - bar by bar - is first given then a 'summary' and 'remarks' as before.
