Description
Prelude BWV 924a comes from the notebook Bach compiled for his son Wilhelm Friedemann. Though under a minute long, following its harmonic movement carefully helps develop a sense of counterpoint, reflecting its pedagogical purpose. With a moderate number of notes, it suits intermediate players working on keyboard fundamentals.
A collection of preludes not tied to a specific set, featuring short, evocative works by composers from Bach to more modern voices.
