KUHNAU, Johann
(1660-1722)
Prelude by Johann Kuhnau. Originally for keyboard, this
prelude follows the typical Baroque format of flowing, arpeggiated sequences. The
use of 'drop D' tuning gives it a full sonority. It is a good exercise both for
bringing out the top line with the 'a' finger and for making accurate and
smooth left-hand shifts. All bass notes can (and should) be sustained for their
full duration. MIDI
