PRELUDE Uses falling tones and semitones throughout, modulating to G minor in bar 9 and back to C minor in bar 17. Bars 17 to 20 use a tonic bass to re-establish the key. FUGUE 1. The two bar 1st theme starts in the alto, with subsequent entries in the tenor, bass and soprano. 2. Re-statement of this theme in the dominant key starts in the bass, followed by entries in the soprano, alto and tenor. 3. An eight-bar sequence back to the tonic key follows next. 4. The stretto section consists of re-statements of the theme in double time and various keys over a slow statement in the tonic key in the bass. 5. The fugue re-states sections 1 to 3 before going into a coda. |
