Bach was born in Einsach in 1685, where, after his parents died, his older brother and adoptive father Christoph nurtured his interest in Music. In his late period, from around 1720, Bach had begun to turn his attentions towards secular works, although maintaining his sacred traditions. ... The first set of Prelude and Fugues was written in 1722. Each set contains 24 Preludes and Fugues, one for every major and minor key of the scale. ...
The preludes and fugues were an outgrowth of the toccatas which Bach wrote for organ. ... This prelude has two short themes, both principally rhythmic. ... These create a driving rhythmic pattern which is typical to Bach’s faster works and the work of many other Baroque composers.
