Eight Short Preludes and Fugues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eight Short Preludes and Fugues are a collection of baroque organ works previously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach but now believed to have been composed by one of Bach's pupils, probably Johann Tobias Krebs.
These works continue to be performed frequently in Christian worship because of their short length (about 3 minutes each) and ease of performance compared to the authentic preludes and fugues of J.S. Bach. Nearly all serious students of organ performance learn most, if not all, of these works.
The alternate English title, "Eight Little Preludes and Fugues" is also used.
