Prelude and Fugue No. 14 in f# (Book 1)

The Prelude is in the form of an Allemande, a dance in 4/4 time with a stately walking step and interlaced contrapuntal writing. The cadential moments are completely subsumed into the writing except for two spots defining the Dominant. The Fugue theme is this remarkable rising contour, not only in pitch but also in successive leading notes lifting the motif through rising key centres. The countersubject is almost entirely made of "seufzer" writing, slurred, falling notes descending in step-wise manner. The final seufzer passage ends exactly at the final cadence of the work.
