Bach PRELUDES AND FUGUES FOR ORGAN

Johann Sebastian Bach

COMPLETE
PRELUDES AND FUGUES
FOR ORGAN

“His distinctive achievement was to present in its final shape the fabric of polyphony.”
— GROVE’S DICTIONARY OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

This assessment of Bach’s accomplishments is best realized in his organ music. Regarded as the world’s greatest composer for organ, Bach coupled mastery of the instrument with his genius for composition to produce some of the richest and most beautiful music of all time.
