Prelude, Fuge & Allegro
A note on the piece from John Mills:
It seems highly probable that Bach wrote this magnificent work for the lute-harpsichord, an instrument constructed along the lines of the harpsichord, but strung with gut strings. The music is nothing short of superb, and this quality offers an infinite variety of possibilities to the performer as regards to interpretation. In the Prelude what appears at first to be a very simple two-part piece, becomes on closer examination a multi-voiced work. The Fugue is the centerpiece of the set, and demands an interpretative degree of the highest level. The work ends with an Allegro, both charming and straightforward musically, but at the same time technically very challenging to the performer.
