Prelude and Fugue in d minor

Organ and Registration

Prelude: Though nothing in the music or the score requires it, this is one of the few of the Eight Short preludes and fugues that has the possibility of a smooth manual change without interrupting the musical lines. You could try, for example, changing manuals at mm. 13-23. To move back to the original manual, leave out the quarter-note 'd' in the left hand of m. 23, return to the original manual, and start the sixteenth-note runs there.
