JS Bach Prelude and Fugue in f# minor, WTC II

[@thedigitalharpsichordist1541]

This has always been one of my favorites, too. A heart-felt, somewhat woeful prelude, followed by a tightly constructed triple fugue: Bach at his best. Bravo, Richard!

Bach must have been having a beautiful day when he wrote this one.
Excellent playing, Richard!

Thanks, very clear, lively playing!

I think this piece would benefit with a lot more rubato, especially on the first beat

[@richardsiegelclavecin]

An open question. Rubato in Bach? or in most baroque music? Emphasizing a first beat now and then, why not? but not too much, as you can hear in my versions...
