| Description: | And I'm moving forward with my project. No. 11 has been completed, so now the Prelude and Fugue in F major are ready for you to hear.
One thing in advance: GrandOrgue has become so unstable that it is already luck if a recording succeeds. There are constant crashes (the process simply disappears), or the whole thing hangs with a continuous tone, or - and this is unfortunately the case with this recording - the reverberation can only be heard on the left channel.
But now to the piece. The fugue is clearly in the foreground, the prelude is merely what it is supposed to be: a short prelude, blithely played with the full organ. The pedal part, which is partly soloistic, is extremely difficult to play, well, yes.
But now for the fugue: it is based on a very lively motif that is worked out according to all the rules of counterpoint. It is intended for 4 voices and is in four parts:
1. exposition
The theme is introduced, it develops in the further course, and further voices are added, so that after the use of the pedal, a short cadenza concludes the exposition.
2. the inversion of the theme
Now the theme is reversed according to the laws of gravity.
3. the theme backwards
Yes, who would have thought that the theme backwards sounds just as beautiful as the original .....
4th close, augmentation and coda
The theme reappears, it is closely led with additional voices, an organ point on the dominant leads to the expansion of the theme in the pedal and we hear the final chord. Done: more than 7 minutes playing time.
