Johann Sebastian Bach

Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 894

after 1717

Total duration: 10'

1. Prelude
2. Fugue

The Neue Bach-Ausgabe also gives an earlier version of the prelude and fugue (BWV³ 894.1); the differences between the versions are minor. Bach later re-wrote the prelude and fugue as the first and third movements of the concerto for flute, violin and harpsichord (BWV 1044).
