Description
This piece belongs to Bach's set of little preludes found in the notebook for his son Wilhelm Friedemann. Within its brief duration of just over a minute, it packs in contrapuntal elements such as voice exchange and shifting harmony, making it a good study piece for intermediate players developing hand independence.
A collection of preludes not tied to a specific set, featuring short, evocative works by composers from Bach to more modern voices.
