Prelude and Fugue in E minor "Wedge", BWV 548

by Johann Sebastian Bach

OrganBaroquePrelude and Fugue~14 minprofessional

One of Bach's most majestic organ works. The fugue subject's expanding intervals give the work its nickname "Wedge." The prelude features dramatic concerto-like passages for manuals and pedals. The five-voice fugue builds to a towering climax. A supreme test of organ technique and musical architecture.
