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.
