E-SCORE PDF VERSION
This work opens with an exciting tutti, driving rhythms, and subtle use of extended harmony. The keyboard textures are clear and resonant throughout and this movement benefits from a lively but not hasty tempo.
The final chord shifts abruptly into the tonality of the fugue.
In four voices, this fugue opens with a lyrical exposition on the foundation stops and after a quieter and ruminative middle section, the recapitulation and stretto leads to a powerful augmented statement, a tutti climax and majestic yet poignant coda. Once again, a spacious tempo is best.
