Bach's 48 Preludes & Fugues are an essential element of the classical repertoire. They are not, however, all easy to play - even for the accomplished player - and buying a full two volume set when you only want a few pieces can be off-putting. The simpler Preludes are here offered as individual pieces.

Each prelude is open to rich and varied interpretation. As there is minimal editing, the score is clear for any number of variations of dynamics, phrasing and articulation.

This prelude is in the forbidding key of E flat minor, but transposing it into E minor is relatively simple and therefore makes it easier to play.
