Although generally published together there is no way of knowing if Bach intended them to be
[00:55 - 00:59]
played together. The Prelude is obviously much earlier in than the
[00:59 - 01:04]
few and is actually separated from the few by the 21 carolled probably

most mature work. Bach wrote two probably loads on the

[20:02 - 20:06]
most perfect of Bach's musical essays and one of the most popular of organ
