My favorite short prelude from all the preludes! I like this prelude because of the beautiful melody as well as that repeating theme in different keys. Bach is known for building a bridge between "Math" and "Emotions" [I don't think there is any math behind this prelude] . As always, Paul's playing is exceptional. Keep it up,Paul!

Purists won't like this, but - When you play this piece slowly and romantically, with pedal, rubato, etc., Bach's compositional prowess is jaw-dropping. Like most other masterpieces, treasures like this are worth savoring!

gosh you put these out fast. I've been playing this for a few weeks and am nowhere near this good. respekt

Wow the notes are dancing! What a lovely music😍😍😍😍

Excellent playing. Thank you Paul.

This music reminds me of my grandparents and how I felt when I was there. When my sister and I were in bed, we always heard my mother play this song. Very nice memory and nicely played!

I bet you enjoyed playing this one, even being far past intermediary

you make it look easy. And then I sit at my piano and try to play these... and I realize... this is a steep STEEP mountain!!!

Bravo!

Thanks Paul! I really enjoyed this one.

Você e um excelente pianista, Paul Barton , parabéns !!!!!!!!

Twelve Little Preludes BWV 924-930, 939-942 and 999, is a 19th-century compilation of short pieces, collected from various 18th-century manuscripts written by Johann Sebastian Bach and others. Notwithstanding their diverse origin and characteristics they were published as a set of twelve keyboard preludes by Bach, in, amongst others, the 36th volume of the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe (BGA). Several collections of short keyboard preludes by Bach were published for didactic purposes from the 19th century. In the 20th century Ferruccio Busoni combined the Twelve Little Preludes with the Six Little Preludes, BWV 933-938 into a set of 18 little preludes. Collections of short keyboard preludes by Johann Sebastian Bach had been around since the 18th century. For instance the Six Little Preludes, BWV 933-938 are found as a group of six in manuscripts before they were published as a set in the 19th century. The Twelve Little Preludes are however a 19th-century compilation extracted from two manuscripts, the Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, and the composite manuscript P 804 (known as the Kellner Collection) of the Berlin State Library, both with dozens of works by various composers and written down by multiple known and unknown scribes. The date of origin of the pieces in the Twelve Little Preludes collection is presumed to be around the first half of the 1720s, that is the period of Bach's later years in Köthen and his first years in Leipzig, where he had become Thomaskantor in 1723. In January 1720 he had started the Klavierbüchlein (keyboard-booklet) for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann, who was nine years old at that time.
