Prelude No 1 from 24 Preludes and Fugues Op 87

The 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 87 by Dmitri Shostakovich are a set of 24 musical pieces for solo piano, one in each of the major and minor keys of the chromatic scale. The cycle was composed in 1950 and 1951 while Shostakovich was in Moscow, and premiered by pianist Tatiana Nikolayeva in Leningrad in December 1952; it was published the same year. A complete performance takes approximately 2 hours and 32 minutes. It is one of several examples of music written in all major and/or minor keys.

The prelude's unbroken chords evokes the first Prelude of The Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach. The tone is mostly pianissimo.

There are a few more that might transfer to the organ. Score attached below.

We are lucky to have a recording of them all played by Tatiana Nikolayeva here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRxdF7tRNYE

Of interest Olli Mustonen recorded the Shostakovich preludes and fugues in conjunction with those by Bach in sequences that contrast these works. His first recording was issued by RCA Victor Red Seal in 1996 and the second by Ondine Records in 2002.
