The source for this publication is a handwritten copy by August Wilhelm Bach of 6 preludes and fugues composed by Ernst Friedrich Richter. Though only one of the others has an opus number, this prelude and fugue was published in 1862 the “Jubel-Album f\u00fcr die Orgel”<\/a> (as was pointed out by Daniele Calorio in the comments below). <\/p>\n

Richter’s Prelude and Fuge in E major is a lyrical work. The prelude is build on a subtle play between two slightly differently registered manuals. The fugue theme gives rise to a piece with long flowing lines, that gradually builds up to a long held chord. After that the piece ends with just a few subdued bars. Interestingly, the Jubal Album does not indicate the manual changes in the Prelude that Bach\u2019s manuscript does. Were they left out or are they Bach\u2019s invention?<\/p>\n

The recording was done with the Hauptwerk software and the sampleset, made by Voxus, of the Stahlhuth\/Jahn organ in the St. Martin\u2019s church, Dudelange<\/a>.<\/p>\n
