Kauffmann's prelude to "Was mein Gott will" is his most rhapsodic or improvisatory prelude. Four different ideas, from fast trio writing to adagio four part choral writing, make up the prelude. Perhaps meant as depiction of the text of the choral? Or perhaps Kauffmann just wasn't very inspired to make a coherent whole out of his musical ideas, the day he wrote this prelude.
