******Georg Boehm* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_B%C3%B6hm>* Praeludium und Fuge in d-moll [4:44] /(A=465)/ The Prelude opens with a Pedal solo, goes through a few chordal progressions, playing with the dotted rhythm that eventually permeates the Fugue, which starts in Common Time, is interrupted by rapid scalar passages, and reappears in 3/4 time. Some more bravura chords and then arpeggios proceed to a swift cadence. If you find yourself singing Handel's "How Beautiful are the Feet" from /Messiah/, perhaps it was suggested by the fugue subject. /Instrument:/ Gottfried Silbermann Organ, Reinhardtsgrimma / Sachsen, Germany (1731) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier <http://www.organartmedia.com/gsilbermann> http://www.virtuallybaroque.com/trak2098.htmOrgantechnology supports Virtually Baroque Tracks Lists from James Pressler's Virtually Baroque.
