The right hand indulges in playful arpeggios right from the start of this Prelude and fugue in G major from the Well-Tempered Clavier I, performed here by Ketil Haugsand for All of Bach. “A fresh salad; nothing too heavy”, says Haugsand. He adds, however, that this does not necessarily make the piece easy to play.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on 28th February 2017 at Cologne, Germany. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel [ Ссылка ] and consider donating [ Ссылка ].
