Präludium und Fuge cis-moll

C sharp minor - a difficult key. Although it has only 4 sharps, it is much richer in double sharps than the parallel major key of E major. The reason for this is the leading tones in minor keys, which are unavoidable if I move up only 2-3 steps in the circle of fifths. And so the very dense score, which I always upload to read along, is teeming with double crosses.

While we are on the subject of this key ... I expressly wanted to play my op11 only on sample sets from binaural pipes ..... Iba and Lochtum are completely out of the question for this composition, so the ingenious sample set of the Noeske organ from Kassel Niederzwehren has to be used again. When I think of Kassel, I always think of the high population of raccoons - but we're getting off the subject.
The prelude is marked moderato, which is how the tempo should be. I suggest 80 bpm in the score, but play it a little slower myself.
The fugue, called Vivace, can be played a little more lively; here I suggest 90 bpm. Most of the fugue is for 3 voices, with a fourth voice added only in the close and coda.
But now have fun with this work!

P.S. Prelude and Fugue in D major is already in the starting blocks, but it will still take a few days until it is ready .....
