J. S. Bach - WTC I, Prelude & Fugue in D Minor, BWV 851, Harpsichord & Sheet Music

Prelude - 0:00 Fugue - 1:51 The 6th entry in the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier collection. I think the prelude is fairly popular in relation to the well-tempered clavier books, with one of the classic arpège-style development of Bach's, while the fugue creates a complex counterpoint based on a beautiful subject that feels very cantabile to me, with many hidden inversions and diminutions. Bringing the beauty of historical recordings to life takes time and dedication!
