Bach: Prelude and Fugue in E-flat major ("St. Anne")

November 28, 2022

The Toccata and Fugue in D minor might be more famous, but my favorite Bach piece for organ is the Prelude and Fugue in E-flat major, often referred to as “St. Anne” because the theme of the fugue sounds like a hymn tune with that name (I’ll let you listen to hear which hymn that is!).
