Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 846 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 846, is a keyboard composition written by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is the first prelude and fugue in the first book of The Well-Tempered Clavier, a series of 48 preludes and fugues by the composer. Prelude[edit] The prelude is 35 bars long and consists mostly of broken chords. Below are the first four bars of the prelude: The prelude continues like this with different variations on harmony, and change of key. The prelude ends with a single C major chord. Some earlier editions of the prelude contain an extra bar between bars 22 and 23 known as the "Schwencke measure", a measure apparently added by Christian Friedrich Gottlieb Schwencke in an attempt to correct what he allegedly deemed a "faulty" progression, even though this sort of progression was standard in Bach's music. music sites, music that helps you concentrate, music videos, music websites, musical style, online radio, orchestral music, piano music, piece of music, pop music, quiet music, radio, radio online, romanticism music, shakespeare music, smooth jazz songs, songs, soothing music, streaming music, streaming radio, symphonic, music, tchaikovsky music, wedding music, wgbh classical, work music, wqxr, youtube music, baroque music, beethoven, beethoven music, carnatic songs, chamber music, chopin music, clasic music, clasical music, classical, classical 96.3, classical albums, classical archives, classical cat, classical cds, classical guitar, classical jazz, classical masterpieces, classical musicians, classical orchestra, classical period, classical pianist, classical singers, classical south florida, classical tunes, classicalmusic, classy music, contemporary music, country music, download free, music, download music, famous music, free download music, free music download, free music download sites, free music downloads, indian music, instrumental music, karnatic music, kind of music, kinds of music, live music, mozart online, mozart songs, music, music archive, music classical, music downloads, music sites, music that helps you concentrate, music videos, music websites, musical style, online radio, orchestral music, piano music, piece of music, pop music, quiet music, radio, radio online, romanticism, music, shakespeare music, smooth jazz songs, songs, soothing music, streaming music, streaming radio, symphonic music, tchaikovsky music, wedding music, wgbh classical, work music, wqxr, youtube musicbaroque music, beethoven, beethoven music, carnatic songs, chamber music, chopin music, clasic music, clasical music, classical, classical 96.3, classical albums, classical archives, classical cat, classical cds, classical guitar, classical jazz, classical masterpieces, classical musicians, classical orchestra, classical period, classical pianist, classical singers, classical south, florida, classical tunes, classicalmusic, classy music, contemporary music, country music, download free music, download music, famous music, free download music, free music download, free music download sites, free music downloads, indian music, instrumental music, internet radio, internet radio player, internet radio stations, karnatic music, kind of music, kinds of music, live music, mozart online, mozart songs, music, music archive, music classical, music downloads, music sites, music that helps you, concentrate, music videos, music websites, musical style, online radio, orchestral music, piano music, piece of music, pop music, quiet music, radio, radio na internet, radio online, radio par internet, romanticism music, shakespeare music, smooth jazz songs, songs soothing music, streaming music, streaming radio, symphonic music, tchaikovsky music, wedding music, wgbh classical, work music, wqxr, youtube music, 100 masterpieces of classical music, 96.3 classical music, about classical music, angry classical music, arabic classical music, archive music classical, bach classical, background music classical, baroque classical music, beautiful classical music, beethoven classical music, benefits of classical music, british light music classics, buy classical music, calm classical music, calming classical music, canon classical music, cd classical music, characteristics of classical music, chinese classical music, chopin classical music, choral music classical, christian classical music, classic arabic music, classic chinese music, classic christian music, classic classical music, classic french music,
