Talk:Prelude and Fugue in F minor, BWV 881

There is also a Prelude and Fugue in F minor for organ, BWV 534. Worth an article, in my opinion. Scott Tillinghast, Houston TX (talk) 22:36, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Variation form?
The current article says the prelude is in variation form, with the theme being in binary form. But, there are no such variations. The prelude is simply in binary form, with a hint of a sonata-form-like recapitulation late in the latter half, akin to the Fantasia in C minor, BWV 906. There is no additional musical material, especially none that would fit a theme-and-variations form, as can be verified in any edition or recording of the work. Furthermore, the "theme" in binary form does not only span 28 bars; it spans the entire 70 bar length of the prelude, and 28 bars is only the first half of the binary form. Is there a source for the analysis that claims it to be in variation form? Anyhow, I have removed this incorrect information (pending the edit I'm making right after posting this comment on the talk page). ~GMH talk to me 16:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
