Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude in E Major, BWV 878 (Arr. for String Trio)

This E Major Prelude from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Book II transforms the Baroque allemande dance into a flowing contrapuntal tapestry. Its irregular phrases cascade seamlessly while establishing the key through sustained notes, later developing Renaissance ricercar techniques in the fugue through stretto entries and grave four-part writing.
