Seems like something at least in a major key should show up for the Fourth of July, but when going in Bach’s order of the WTCI — and beginning a project like this on July 1 — one ends up in a morose but beautiful P&F for the national holiday. Both Prelude and Fugue are contemplative, but the fugue requires considerable effort — it is a double fugue in five voices, and four pages long. And yet I find it one of the easier fugues to read through — there is something intuitive for me regarding the harmonies that result in organization of the voices. Stunning piece, and plenty of time during a holiday for getting through it — thanks, JSB!
