Bach - Prelude and fugue in C major BWV 547 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society

In the Prelude and fugue in C major, performed by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, Bach plays with movement and motionlessness. The 9/8 time signature of the Prelude almost automatically evokes a rocking motion, which is underlined in the first bar by the clear division into three groups of three notes. It is almost like a procession striding into the church and is reminiscent of the opening chorus of cantata BWV 65. Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 18th 2018 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam.
