The Fughetta in C minor, performed by Ursula Dütschler for All of Bach, is practically over before it gets going, according to harpsichordist Ursula Dütschler, who we visited to make this recording. Bach’s authorship is contested by some people, as the piece only appears in manuscripts of uncertain origin. However, it would certainly not be out of place in the collection of two-part inventions (practice pieces for beginner keyboard players), although in this case the structure is slightly freer.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 19th 2017 in Muiden, the Netherlands. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
