Bach - Prelude and fugue in G major BWV 541 - Winsemius | Netherlands Bach Society

The paper that was used for the Prelude and fugue in G major, performed by Bernard Winsemius for All of Bach, is the same on which Bach wrote a recommendation letter for his oldest son Wilhelm Friedemann. At the age of 20, Wilhelm had completed lessons with his father and he applied for the position of organist at the Sophienkirche in Dresden. BWV 541 forms the ideal audition piece: virtuoso, light-hearted and energetic from start to finish, and completely on-trend in Italian style. Recorded for the project All of Bach on June 25th 2014 at Walloon Church, Amsterdam.
