Präludium und Fuge e-moll

The project continues to progress.

Now we have arrived at E minor and again I have come up with something special.

A short prelude, an Angloise (as in the French Suite in B minor by the great JSB). This fresh dance is supposed to free the ear for the actual main part of the composition: an expansive fugue of 5 voices.

A slow short motive is the basis of the compositional work.
I had some fugues from the Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach in mind, each with slow motives and also 5 voices.
The fugue offers 3 attempts, in each case further voices are added, so that towards the end of each attempt there is a 5-voice passage. Not so easy to lead 5 voices, or should I say to tame them?

If one is not called JSB, movement errors can hardly be avoided, so some unintentional parallels can be found, as well as (possibly disturbing) dissonances in the runs, but what is decisive is what arrives at the receiver.

A complex sound picture, an arc of tension, and the whole with the dazzling Mascioni organ to Giubiasco in the beautiful Swiss Ticino.

Have fun now with this work!
