The J.S.Bach Prelude and Fugue in E flat Minor, BWV 853, book 1 of the well-tempered clavier, is one of those pieces that kind of pulls the tears out of your eyes. It pain, sorrow, loneliness, … could be raised on a bar, Bach would have raised it here to unlimited. If sounds great on the clavichord, an instrument that can add shouting and whispering on top of all of that emotion.
Let me know in the comments what your main “emotion” is with this remarkable prelude…and fugue !
