Bach: Eight Little Preludes & Fugues BWV 553-560 for String Quartet by Johann Sebastian Bach String Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Score: 42 pages. Duration: ca. 22:45J.S. Bach's Eight Little Preludes & Fugues, BWV 553-560, are a set of organ pieces composed between 1720 and 1723. They are composed in the Baroque style and show Bach's mastery of the form. The pieces consist of a prelude followed by a fugue, and are short and compact in form. The preludes are mostly in a two-part contrapuntal style, with occasional triplets and dotted rhythms adding variety and interest. The fugues are more complex and show Bach's ability to write complex counterpoint and intricate contrapuntal textures. These pieces are great for both teaching and performing, and provide a wonderful introduction to Bach's music.
