Prælude, B Dur (L 12)

The next two preludes from manuscript Becker III.8.63, held by the Städtische Bibliotheken Leipzig, share the same tonality, b flat major. The first of these two, publshed here today, has an introduction of 7 bars where one bass note bears the indication "ped.". The rest of the composition is probably meant as a manualiter piece, so that one pedal note seams a bit odd. It raises the question whether the first 7 bars are part of Seger's original composition or that they were added later, perhaps by the scribe of this manuscript.
