Bach's Eight Little Preludes & Fugues, BWV 553-560, are organ pieces composed between 1720 and 1723. They are written in the Baroque style and show Bach's mastery of the form. The pieces consist of a prelude followed by a fugue and are short and compact. The preludes are mainly in a two-part contrapuntal style, with occasional triplets and dotted rhythms adding variety and interest. The fugues are more complex and show Bach's ability to write complex counterpoint and intricate contrapuntal textures. These pieces are great for teaching and performing and provide an excellent introduction to Bach's music.
