10 Chorale zum Praambulieren

Chorales for praambulation from the manuscripts edited by Martin Fischer

These 44 pieces are akin to written-down improvisations, using simple contrapuntal forms and close major-minor shifts. They are not arranged in any particular order. Each prelude makes use of a similar musical structure in which the first line of the hymn is played as a solo that is then given a straightforward imitative treatment, often in just three voices, interspersed with short melodic sequences, ending with a coda over a sustained pedal note.

14 Wenn wir in Hocsten Noten sein
15 Durch Adams Fall
16 Es ist das Heil uns kommen herr
17 Ich ruf zu dir Herr Jesu8 Christ
18 Auf meinen lieben Gott
19 O Herre Gott, dein gottlich Wort
20 Herr Christ, den einig Gottes sohn
