Description:
Few pieces in the entire piano repertoire are as instantly recognizable as this Prelude and Fugue in C major, the very first from Bach’s monumental "Well-Tempered Clavier". The Prélude unfolds like a gently undulating stream of broken chords, without a melody in the conventional sense, yet utterly hypnotic—a quiet marvel that has arguably become one of Bach’s most beloved pieces. The preceding fugue is a model of concentration: its concise theme moves through the voices in close canonical imitation, ever-present and seamless, without ever lingering in long episodes. Bringing this piano masterpiece into the repertoire of the euphonium-tuba quartet required an inventive reimagining so that its intimate textures could be expressed idiomatically through the brass instruments. In turn, the players are invited to shape the articulation and resonance of the notes as if from a single breath, thereby lending warmth and breath to a work of timeless beauty.
