Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude and Fugue in A major, BWV 888 (The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II)

The Well-Tempered Clavier is a collection of two sets of preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, composed for solo keyboard by Johann Sebastian Bach. Book II was completed in 1742 and represents the pinnacle of Baroque counterpoint. The A major prelude and fugue, BWV 888, features a bright, lyrical prelude contrasted with a sophisticated four-voice fugue demonstrating Bach's mastery of musical architecture.
